Although I think the current value of 0xB000 will be suitable for a great many designs, I expect that many users will need to adjust this value for their hardware. Details such as which touchscreen vendor is being used and how the touchscreen is connected (header vs cable) have an effect on what's appropriate here.
Oh. That is one knob I hoped we could avoid since I haven't seen it
before on other TSCs. But okay. Please make sure that there is a
message printed if the default value is used. And lets hope the user
will do something about his.

The downsize of making this larger is that it decreases the overall sampling speed of both the touchscreen as well as the standalone ADC samples. At one point I tried making it huge, but that made the touchscreen overly sluggish because the sampling became too slow. So there is a definite trade-off that if you make it too large the touchscreen becomes sluggish, and if you make it too small then you may see false pen-up events. The optimal value will need to be tuned for a given design.
I applied the patches from this series and did the following test on my
am335x-evm: A mug on the touchscreen (to make sure the events are
coming), evtest on the event node to see that the events and loop of
cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device0/in_voltage4_raw
In the past I was able lock up the TSC/ADC HW that way (see commit
7ca6740cd1 ("mfd: input: iio: ti_amm335x: Rework TSC/ADC
synchronization")) for details.
With this patches applied I don't seen any TSC events once the IIO
interface is (heavily) used. Can this be fixed?
