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.
  Dmitry's patch fixes both the problems(request/free and direction)
  in a single patch itself.Now there is no need of merging any patches.
  Just that Dmitry's patch need to be rebased over the top of HEAD. (Currently,
  its on top of my patch series).
Well, here you have missed the point of direction:
...

+		err = gpio_request_one(pdata->gpio_pendown, GPIOF_DIR_IN,
+							"ads7846_pendown");

...

-	err = gpio_request_one(pdata->gpio_pendown, GPIOF_DIR_IN,
-						"ads7846_pendown");
...


It does not deal with direction, but only with request - free balance.
The gpio direction is fixed by your patch.
