Could you tell me what additional features your driver > implements and why can't they be added to the existing driver. > Hi Dmitry, the current driver is written for one maXTouch chip, mXT224. The driver that I submitted will support all current maXTouch chips, and it is built to be future-proof so it should work with yet to be released chips too, with minor or no changes. This shows in the naming too, part name "qt602240" is deprecated and it shouldn't be used. As the driver should work with all chips in the maXTouch family, a more generic naming convention in the driver name itself and all the code inside the driver would be more appropriate. Atmel would like to be the maintainer of this driver, and it would be easiest if we could use the code I submitted. Of course we would be happy to implement any improvements like the threaded IRQs.
