I moved ADC settings to the mfd...

This is none of our design-decision. We did it the same way as it was already in
drivers/input/touchscreen/stmpe-ts.c.

Same here, we did it the same way as it was in stmpe-ts.c

I think as a user of this driver at this point you need to read the datasheet
anyway, to be able to decide which parameters you need for the application.

This is also implemented with the "norequest-mask" in stmpe-ts.c. That's why we
did it the same way and I don't like to break others devicetree by changing
stmpe-ts.c

This is none of our naming decisions please see line 1311 in drivers/mfd/stmpe.c
