We have designed the EH (interrupt handler driver) and the TSI (touch screen driver) in a manner that the EH reads raw co-ordinates from the touch control registers of the DA9052 hardware in response to sampling ready interrupt requests and stores them in a FIFO for TSI further processing.

We are implementing a common Event handler module for processing all the interrupt events from the DA9052 devices like battery, regulator, RTC etc. Fetching the TSI samples on touch events by EH rather than notifying the TSI driver through a call-back routine helps us to get a good amount of filtered touch samples from the TSI driver. 

Hence we intend to keep the TSI raw co-ordinate reading in the event handling module, which is a part of the MFD driver.
