The current ads7846 has no OF match table. The method used is by applying a heuristic (of_modalias_node) which tries to name the device in a way that will match an existing device driver.
This patch adds explicit OF match table for ads7846, then the normal device tree match behaviour will always work.
It has been tested on PRIMA2 EVB board of CSR with a SPI's child node like the below:
ts@0 {
       compatible = "ti,ads7845";
       reg = <0x0>;
       spi-max-frequency = <31250>;
       interrupts = <90>;
};

There should also be documentation for the new binding added to
Documentation/devicetree/bindings for the new compatible strings.

Which directory do you think is the best to place this document? or do
we build a new diretory named
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/input/touchscreen/ ?
The dir Documentation/devicetree/bindings seems to be for spi host,
not for spi clients.

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/input sounds appropriate.
