If ADC is sampling and someone is touching the TSC, both interrupts
can signal so closely that for the purpose of the kernel,
they can be seen as signaled together.

FIFO 1 used only by ADC and FIFO1THRES handler is inside the iio/adc driver
FIFO 0 used only by TSC and FIFO0THRES handler is inside the input/touchscreen

Note: These are level interrupts.

I would like some input on how to handle such a situation.
