Hi Thierry,

I have added linux-omap community. How different is this chip from
tsc2007. It looks to me that this chip is not much different from
tsc2007 (this is just quick look at the driver). If they
are similar please consider using i2c_device_id feature in tsc2007 to
accommodate this chip.
I agree with the Trilok's opinion.

I only noticed the tsc2007 driver some time ago, when the tsc2003 was already
finished (it's actually pretty old, I just never got around to submitting
it). However I never got the tsc2007 to work on my platform because it uses
sleeping functions inside the timer handler, which results in an oops right
after the first touchscreen interrupt.

I guess I could try and fix the tsc2007 properly instead of having a second,
pretty similar driver in the tree.
This could be because of improper locking? If you share a crash we can
have look at it.
Attached is a patch that fixes things for me. The problem was that the I2C
transfers were done in interrupt context which fails for the controller I use
(PXA270). The attached patch uses a struct work_struct to schedule the I2C
transfers so they are executed in non-interrupt context.

I've tested the patch on a minimal system with tslib and it work fine with
ts_calibrate and friends.
Thanks for the patch. It looks good. Let's wait for Kwangwoo Lee to
verify it on his platform. Also please add "tsc2003" entry into
i2c_device_ids so that i2c_board_info can specify the .name as
"tsc2003".
