+README on the ADC/Touchscreen Controller
+========================================
+
+The LH79524 and LH7A404 include a built-in Analog to Digital
+controller (ADC) that is used to process input from a touchscreen.
+The driver only implements a four-wire touch panel protocol.
+
+The touchscreen driver is maintenance free except for the pen-down or
+touch threshold. Some resistive displays and board combinations may
+require tuning of this threshold. The driver exposes some of it's
+internal state in the sys filesystem. If the kernel is configured
+with it, CONFIG_SYSFS, and sysfs is mounted at /sys, there will be a
+directory
+
+ /sys/devices/platform/adc-lh7.0
+
+containing these files.
+
+ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 1 00:00 samples
+ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 1 00:00 threshold
+ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 1 00:00 threshold_range
+
+The threshold is the current touch threshold. It defaults to 750 on
+most targets.
+
+ # cat threshold
+ 750
+
+The threshold_range contains the range of valid values for the
+threshold. Values outside of this range will be silently ignored.
+
+ # cat threshold_range
+ 0 1023
+
+To change the threshold, write a value to the threshold file.
+
+ # echo 500 > threshold
+ # cat threshold
+ 500
+
+The samples file contains the most recently sampled values from the
+ADC. There are 12. Below are typical of the last sampled values when
+the pen has been released. The first two and last two samples are for
+detecting whether or not the pen is down. The third through sixth are
+X coordinate samples. The seventh through tenth are Y coordinate
+samples.
+
+ # cat samples
+ 1023 1023 0 0 0 0 530 529 530 529 1023 1023
+
+To determine a reasonable threshold, press on the touch panel with an
+appropriate stylus and read the values from samples.
+
+ # cat samples
+ 1023 676 92 103 101 102 855 919 922 922 1023 679
+
+The first and eleventh samples are discarded. Thus, the important
+values are the second and twelfth which are used to determine if the
+pen is down. When both are below the threshold, the driver registers
+that the pen is down. When either is above the threshold, it
+registers then pen is up.

+README on the LCD Panels
+========================
+
+Configuration options for several LCD panels, available from Logic PD,
+are included in the kernel source. This README will help you
+understand the configuration data and give you some guidance for
+adding support for other panels if you wish.
+
+
+lcd-panels.h
+------------
+
+There is no way, at present, to detect which panel is attached to the
+system at runtime. Thus the kernel configuration is static. The file
+arch/arm/mach-ld7a40x/lcd-panels.h (or similar) defines all of the
+panel specific parameters.
+
+It should be possible for this data to be shared among several device
+families. The current layout may be insufficiently general, but it is
+amenable to improvement.
+
+
+PIXEL_CLOCK
+-----------
+
+The panel data sheets will give a range of acceptable pixel clocks.
+The fundamental LCDCLK input frequency is divided down by a PCD
+constant in field '.tim2'. It may happen that it is impossible to set
+the pixel clock within this range. A clock which is too slow will
+tend to flicker. For the highest quality image, set the clock as high
+as possible.
+
+
+MARGINS
+-------
+
+These values may be difficult to glean from the panel data sheet. In
+the case of the Sharp panels, the upper margin is explicitly called
+out as a specific number of lines from the top of the frame. The
+other values may not matter as much as the panels tend to
+automatically center the image.
+
+
+Sync Sense
+----------
+
+The sense of the hsync and vsync pulses may be called out in the data
+sheet. On one panel, the sense of these pulses determine the height
+of the visible region on the panel. Most of the Sharp panels use
+negative sense sync pulses set by the TIM2_IHS and TIM2_IVS bits in
+'.tim2'.
+
+
+Pel Layout
+----------
+
+The Sharp color TFT panels are all configured for 16 bit direct color
+modes. The amba-lcd driver sets the pel mode to 565 for 5 bits of
+each red and blue and 6 bits of green.

-(iii) Internal Kernel Implementation
+(iii) Kernel Interface
-Each inotify instance is associated with an inotify_device structure.
+Inotify's kernel API consists a set of functions for managing watches and an
+event callback.
+
+To use the kernel API, you must first initialize an inotify instance with a set
+of inotify_operations. You are given an opaque inotify_handle, which you use
+for any further calls to inotify.
+
+ struct inotify_handle *ih = inotify_init(my_event_handler);
+
+You must provide a function for processing events and a function for destroying
+the inotify watch.
+
+ void handle_event(struct inotify_watch *watch, u32 wd, u32 mask,
+ u32 cookie, const char *name, struct inode *inode)
+
+ watch - the pointer to the inotify_watch that triggered this call
+ wd - the watch descriptor
+ mask - describes the event that occurred
+ cookie - an identifier for synchronizing events
+ name - the dentry name for affected files in a directory-based event
+ inode - the affected inode in a directory-based event
+
+ void destroy_watch(struct inotify_watch *watch)
+
+You may add watches by providing a pre-allocated and initialized inotify_watch
+structure and specifying the inode to watch along with an inotify event mask.
+You must pin the inode during the call. You will likely wish to embed the
+inotify_watch structure in a structure of your own which contains other
+information about the watch. Once you add an inotify watch, it is immediately
+subject to removal depending on filesystem events. You must grab a reference if
+you depend on the watch hanging around after the call.
+
+ inotify_init_watch(&my_watch->iwatch);
+ inotify_get_watch(&my_watch->iwatch); // optional
+ s32 wd = inotify_add_watch(ih, &my_watch->iwatch, inode, mask);
+ inotify_put_watch(&my_watch->iwatch); // optional
+
+You may use the watch descriptor (wd) or the address of the inotify_watch for
+other inotify operations. You must not directly read or manipulate data in the
+inotify_watch. Additionally, you must not call inotify_add_watch() more than
+once for a given inotify_watch structure, unless you have first called either
+inotify_rm_watch() or inotify_rm_wd().
+
+To determine if you have already registered a watch for a given inode, you may
+call inotify_find_watch(), which gives you both the wd and the watch pointer for
+the inotify_watch, or an error if the watch does not exist.
+
+ wd = inotify_find_watch(ih, inode, &watchp);
+
+You may use container_of() on the watch pointer to access your own data
+associated with a given watch. When an existing watch is found,
+inotify_find_watch() bumps the refcount before releasing its locks. You must
+put that reference with:
+
+ put_inotify_watch(watchp);
+
+Call inotify_find_update_watch() to update the event mask for an existing watch.
+inotify_find_update_watch() returns the wd of the updated watch, or an error if
+the watch does not exist.
+
+ wd = inotify_find_update_watch(ih, inode, mask);
+
+An existing watch may be removed by calling either inotify_rm_watch() or
+inotify_rm_wd().
+
+ int ret = inotify_rm_watch(ih, &my_watch->iwatch);
+ int ret = inotify_rm_wd(ih, wd);
+
+A watch may be removed while executing your event handler with the following:
+
+ inotify_remove_watch_locked(ih, iwatch);
+
+Call inotify_destroy() to remove all watches from your inotify instance and
+release it. If there are no outstanding references, inotify_destroy() will call
+your destroy_watch op for each watch.
+
+ inotify_destroy(ih);
+
+When inotify removes a watch, it sends an IN_IGNORED event to your callback.
+You may use this event as an indication to free the watch memory. Note that
+inotify may remove a watch due to filesystem events, as well as by your request.
+If you use IN_ONESHOT, inotify will remove the watch after the first event, at
+which point you may call the final inotify_put_watch.

+(v) Internal Kernel Implementation
+
+Each inotify instance is represented by an inotify_handle structure.
+Inotify's userspace consumers also have an inotify_device which is
+associated with the inotify_handle, and on which events are queued.
Each watch is associated with an inotify_watch structure. Watches are chained
