The logic in here looks reasonable to me. I am far from a specialist in how these touch
screens are normally handled though.
One thing to note is that you really want to get a proposed device tree spec out asap
as that can take longer to review than the driver. If you are proposing to do that as a future
patch, then take into account that you'll need to ensure these are the defaults if
it is not specified in the device tree for ever more (which is more painful than
hammering out he device tree stuff now!)
