This driver has been split into adc, touchscreen and mfd part. It's currently in
process of review and not yet merged. And it's modified  in such a way that
your changes wouldn't apply anyway. Please see:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/4/270
I think it's better to wait for modified driver to be merged and after send
patches for it.

Thanks,
Ksenija
