For the pmic devices the assumption that there is only one in the system
is not nice, but reasonable. For this driver it is an unnecessary
limitation.
How about this:
add a 'static struct stmpe stmpe_dev' just like you did, but instead
of returning -EBUSY for the second one, do
if (!stmpe_dev)
stmpe_dev = newdev;
This way the at least the gpio support works for multiple instances.
