I tested this using lcd7 cape connected to beaglebone black. The latest
kernel I could find on this board was a TI BSP based v3.14 kernel. So I
had to port these patches to that kernel. Cc Robert Nelson to see if he
knows about a more recent kernel supporting that cape.

I did not see any breakage with these patches applied although I did not
see any noticeable performance improvement as well.

I also tested along with continuous loop reading from
/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_voltage5_raw

I have pushed the kernel I used here in case anyone wants to take a look
at my porting.

http://git.ti.com/cgit/cgit.cgi/~nsekhar/ti-linux-kernel/nsekhar-ti-linux-kernel.git/log/?h=am335x-tsc-test

I also tested this series on AM335x EVM using the v3.18-rc5 kernel.
Again, no breakage but no improvement as well.

All testing was done using ts_test

FWIW, you can add:
