RE: [PATCH v3] Fix endian issues and remove the board specific codes

Hi, Dmitry,

Just send the v4 and please feel free to prompt me a message 
if there is anything wrong.

Remove the fw_id checking redundant codes in this version 
since it has no meaning. I just want to make sure that values are all correct originally.

Best Regard,
Hn.chen

Hi, Dmitry,

Thanks for your comments. 
Here are my replies for some comments.

Why would it be different now?
This driver is intend to support two controllers, WDT8753 & WDT8756. 
The chip_id and the the firmware are different for them, so we have to 
check if The firmware is suitable for this controller.
What I meant is as far as I understand dev_wdt87xx->sys_param.fw_id is what we've read from the controller when we probed the device. What is the point in trying to re-read it with wdt87xx_get_sysparam()? Do we expect it to somehow change?

I think I might have asked this before, by anyway: are we sure that we don't already have this checksum implementation in lib/? And if we don't maybe we should?
The MISR is a checksum function which the full name is "Multiple Input Signature Register". 
I checked the kernel library and not found any algorithm like this.
You mean I have to submit the checksum function into kernel/lib ?
No, you do not have to. I just wanted to make sure we are not duplicating something that already exists.

Can you tell me a bit more about the way device sends touch data? Does it always send all 10 contacts regardless of data in raw_buf[TOUCH_PK_OFFSET_FNGR_NUM]?
Yes, it always send all 10 contacts data.
I see.
