The tsc2007 chip not only has a resistive touch screen controller but
also an external AUX adc imput which can be used for an ambient
light sensor, battery voltage monitoring or any general purpose.

Additionally it can measure the chip temperature.

This extension provides an iio interface for these adc channels
in addition to the raw x, y, z values and the estimated touch
screen resistance. This can be used for debugging or special
applications.

I'm unconvinced that exposing the touch related channels is terribly
useful.

Mostly for debugging of if someone wants to do a (better) touch detection

in user space.

For that we should probably export data as a heat map via V4L2
interface, similarly to what Nick Dyer did for Synaptics and Atmel
drivers (albeit their heatmap functions are too slow for real
processing and only suitable for debug/validation).

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is a heat map?
Does it allow to cat /sys/bus/something the raw values?

And why introduce another interface if we already get the iio that
easily reports such values by just adding more channels and some
lines of code?
