    Work around one. Hence 5 wire design is not broken.

    The pen up event detection happens immediately after charge step. Hence,
    interchanging ADC and TSC steps makes sure that sampling of touch
    co-ordinates and pen events are done one after the other. This
    workaround was suggested by internal hardware folks. Earlier ADC steps
    intervened between sampling of co-ordinates and pen event detection
    which is not desirable.

    Yes, I tested for about 200000 interrupts and I didn't see any hang.
    This patch series does not just implement workaround but also does some
    minor changes, such as interchanging ADC and TSC steps etc, which makes
    TSC driver more robust. Let me know if you encounter any issues with my
    patch series.
