Subject: [PATCH 3.2 102/110] Input: usbtouchscreen - avoid unresponsive
 TSC-30 touch screen

3.2.71-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bernhard Bender <bernhard.bender@...ecmed.com>

commit 968491709e5b1aaf429428814fff3d932fa90b60 upstream.

This patch fixes a problem in the usbtouchscreen driver for DMC TSC-30
touch screen.  Due to a missing delay between the RESET and SET_RATE
commands, the touch screen may become unresponsive during system startup or
driver loading.

According to the DMC documentation, a delay is needed after the RESET
command to allow the chip to complete its internal initialization. As this
delay is not guaranteed, we had a system where the touch screen
occasionally did not send any touch data. There was no other indication of
the problem.

The patch fixes the problem by adding a 150ms delay between the RESET and
SET_RATE commands.
