With this device, if the MSB of the first byte of the transaction is 1 then
a convertor command is encoded in that byte instead of a register address.

So here is my plan:
- Add a function pointer for tsc2005_cmd in the struct tsc2005
- Put the spi and i2c tsc2005_cmd versions in their respective drivers
- Pass the cmd functions to the core via tsc200x_probe

Any objections?
Other review suggestions before I code the revision?
Am I doing too much with a single patch?
