Add support for glitch threshold configuration. A detected signal is valid
only if it lasts longer than the set threshold; otherwise, it is regarded
as a glitch.

What's wrong with debounce-delay-ms?
Do you mean that I should rename touchscreen-glitch-threshold-ns to
debounce-delay-ms?
I mean that's the common property we already have, so use it or explain
why you aren't using it. I suppose the definition is technically a bit
different if it's purely a s/w delay vs. h/w monitoring of the signal
state. I don't think it matters if the interpretation by each driver is
a bit different.

Maybe msec is not enough resolution for you could be another reason?
Yes, this is the main reason. As specified in the following patch:
  v5 4/6 dt-bindings: touchscreen: fsl,imx6ul-tsc: support glitch threshold

Drivers must convert this value to IPG clock cycles and map
it to one of the four discrete thresholds exposed by the
TSC_DEBUG_MODE2 register:

  0: 8191 IPG cycles
  1: 4095 IPG cycles
  2: 2047 IPG cycles
  3: 1023 IPG cycles

In my case, the IPG clock runs at 66 MHz, which corresponds to:

124 µs for 0
62 µs for 1
31 us for 2
15 us for 3

So using milliseconds would not fit my use case. A possible trade-off
could be to use debounce-delay-us. Would that be acceptable?
I agree it wouldn't map to what the h/w provides, but is what the h/w
provides actually useful? There's plenty of h/w designed that's not
useful. 15us is quite short for a glitch. Do you have an actual cases
where the different values above are needed?
Considering an IPG clock at 66 MHz, currently at reset the deglitch
filter is set to 124 µs,
the driver sets it to 31 µs with a hardcoded value, and in my use case
I need to set it to 62 µs,
It would be helpful if the commit message explained why. What platform 
needs it and what happens without this support added?
as you can see in the patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250918155240.2536852-6-dario.binacchi@amarulasolutions.com/ (local)
and its handling in
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250918155240.2536852-7-dario.binacchi@amarulasolutions.com/ (local)

Another option could be to use a specific binding for the
fsl,imx6ul-tsc controller, as I did in the
earlier versions of the series.
No, add debounce-delay-us to the common binding.
