The ads7846 driver requests a gpio but does not currently
configure it explicitly as an input. Use gpio_request_one
to request and configure it at one shot.

Will apply this one, the other one is a bit messy IMO, will have to
think about it.

Something like below should do I think.

Patch looks good but it applies only on top of previous patch:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/529941/

Why to have two patches for this fix?

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-omap/msg45167.html

My point here is: 
1. The first patch only replaces gpio_request with gpio_request_one
2. Rest of the things are handled in 2nd patch posted by dmitry

What is harm in merging both the patches? I don't think it affects
readability.

Because the changes introduced by the patches are from different nature.
As stated in the link above, one is a functional change (gpio setup change)
and second is fixing the imbalance in request - free calls.
The impact is not readability, but bad bisect-ability.
