Basically the TI TSC2046 touchscreen controller is 8 channel ADC optimized for
the touchscreen use case. By implementing it as IIO ADC device, we can
make use of resistive-adc-touch and iio-hwmon drivers.

So far, this driver was tested with custom version of resistive-adc-touch driver,
since it need to be extended to make use of Z1 and Z2 channels. The X/Y
are working without additional changes.

Hi Oleksij,

To consider this as a possible long term route instead of just making this
a touchscreen driver, we'll want to see those mods to the resistive-adc-touch.
Of course that doesn't stop review of this in the meantime.

There are quite a few things in here that feel pretty specific to the touchscreen
usecase. That makes me wonder if this is a sensible approach or not.

I'm wondering if this has any similarities with existing drivers under
drivers/input/touchscreen.

Yes, for example: drivers/input/touchscreen/ads7846.c

Regards,
Oleksij
