By mistake "syscon" name is documented in "touchscreen" label above. In the touchscreen driver code and .dtsi file it's named and used as "ts_syscon". Please refer https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/9/71 for the changes. Let me know if this ok. I will correct the documentation in the next patch. > Your changelog text fails to describe why you do this change in the first place, > and why you can't do it in a backward-compatible way, so please rewrite that > text. Yes, I will update the change log in the next patch. In Cygnus SOC, Touch screen controller registers are shared with ADC and flex timer IP's. Using readl/writel could lead to race condition. So this patch is introduced to take care mutually exclusive access of register's in such a case. In the platform's where touchscreen register's are not shared normal readl/writel could be used. Based on the dt property entry "reg" or "ts_syscon" register accesses are handled. if "reg" is provided normal readl/writel API's are used to access register's else if "ts_syscon" is provided then syscon API's are used. > Arnd -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
