Hi Markuss,

Thanks for the quick review! I agree with most of your comments and will
fix them in a v2 soon. I have a few doubts as discussed below.

I assumed in case of the interrupt working, but i2c reads fail for some
reason, it would spam a lot of error messages if the user touches the
screen continuously, like a swipe up gesture or something.

I referred to ad7879 touchscreen's irq handling code [1] and thought
it's probably best to do this, to be on the safe side. I will remove
this if it's not needed in v2.

Sorry, I am not sure I got this right. Do you mean I create an array of
struct called say "fts_point" that stores the x, y, type, etc. info of
all the points, then report it separately. Like similar to something
done by the auo-pixcir touchscreen driver [2]?

If I didn't get this correctly, can you show me some code in mainline,
that does it? It would be very helpful.
