Ideally we should only use linux/gpio/consumer.h, which is required for

linux/gpio.h is still needed for gpio_is_valid()/gpio_get_value() and should
be removed when those are changed to the gpiod_ versions.

We could do an intermediate patch that converts one half of the
interface, something like
When I convert stuff I try to go all the way when I can. It can
be a bit daring if no one is there to test changes.

The patch looks good though apart from:
-               ts->gpio_pendown = pdata->gpio_pendown;
+               ts->gpio_pendown = gpio_to_desc(pdata->gpio_pendown);
I usually even go into the defined platform data and try to convert
the boardfile to use a descriptor table so this is never needed.
(But, more work.)

Examples:
git log -p --author=Walleij arch/arm/mach-pxa/
-       pdata->gpio_pendown = of_get_named_gpio(dev->of_node,
"pendown-gpio", 0);
+       ts->gpio_pendown = gpiod_get(dev, "pendown-gpio", GPIOD_IN);
Needs to be just gpiod_get(dev, "pendown", GPIOD_IN); the new
API tries the "-gpio[s]" suffixes when going into the device tree.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
