I ran into timeouts when using the touchscreen driver at the same time
as the general purpose ADC and reviewed the timeout calculations. I found
that the IDLE_TIMEOUT value is/was wrong (I submitted another patch
for this) and that the ADC driver doesn't take into account the
steps used by the touchscreen driver

Jonathan also expressed his concerns about this, I submitted a
follow-up patch without the ifdef (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/16/460).
I would appreciate your comments on this patch

note that the timing difference isn't that minimal with the correct
IDLE_TIMEOUT (~100us instead of 10us), it sums up to a max timeout of
~1.6ms (16 steps) and we are busy looping (though in the non-error
case we will bail out as soon as the conversion cycle is finished)

best regards
