Yes, I do,  because part of my patch comes from source code of openmoko
project. I've also noticed there's 4 touchscreen filters in the openmoko
project used by s3c24xx touchscreen driver.

I think there should be a s3c24xx touchscreen driver in the mailine, but
I haven't found anyone submitted a s3c24xx touchscreen driver for the
mainline. So I wrote the driver myself and refered the openmoko
implementation.

I didn't use the kernel-space touchscreen filters, because I found tslib
is able to meet the common requirement.

I have read the mail of Russell King. I think we may add the s3c24xx ts
driver first, and the kernel-space touchscreen filters can be added
later if most of us think it is valuable or usefull. After all, I don't
think there is anyone like the mailine without s3c24xx ts driver
support.
