[Hiremath, Vaibhav] The driver which I submitted is the basic version, there is lot which required to be added here for complete support of TSC2004 features. I tried to summarize it (in short) here - 

	- TSC2004 supports register based control, whereas TSC2007 is command based control.
	- TSC2004 supports 2 different modes of operation, whereas there is nothing like this in TSc2007
	- There are lots of configuration options TSC2004 provides.

Again there are differences like command/address formats 

TSC2004 -
---------- 
BIT 	NAME 		DESCRIPTION
D7 			Control Byte ID 1
D6-D3 C3-C0		Converter function select		
D2 	M 		1: 12 Bit 0: 10 bit
D1 SWRST		Software Reset.
D0 STS 		Stop bit for all converter functions.
 
TSC2007 - 
---------
BIT 	NAME 		DESCRIPTION
D7-D4 C3-C0 	All Converter Function Select bits
D3-D2 PD1-PD0	Power down bit control
D1 	M 		1: 8-bit 0: 12 bit
D0 	X Don't care.


So in my opinion we must not try to merge drivers for these two devices. I hope this information clears all the confusion.

Thanks,
Vaibhav
