SubjectRe: [RFC PATCH 0/1] input/touchscreen: Synaptics Touchscreen Driver
Hi Christopher,

Some generic review comments for this patch

1. Normally, defconfig should be a separate patch. You need not
post the entire defconfig, but only the changes to the Makefiles and
the Kconfig files.

2. All RMI specific files can be moved to a separate driver folder
in input/ like drivers/input/rmi/*.

3. Lots of Hungarian notation in the code. Please refer this snippet.

We are also using the Synaptics RMI4 touch pad on our U8500 platform.
We had to make some changes to these posted drivers to make it work on
our platform. Also, we modified the touch screen driver to be compliant
to the kernel coding guidelines, but as a stand alone driver though.

I will soon post out an RFC for our patch which we got working on our board.
Please do have a look and we would like you guys to incorporate these changes
into your final patch sets as well, so that we can avoid any re-works later on
when your patch set gets merged into the mainline kernel.


Cheers!
Naveen
