Those are not relevant since tsc2004/5 and tsc2007 are independent drivers and don't
share code. Hence the N900 is not influenced by this patch series.

If it has a similar issue, it should be fixed of course.

Sorry, I was a little imprecise here, because I looked for the min/max properties.
Of course, the imx devices use the tsc2007 as well.

Maybe we should edit all these DTS and set the "ti,report-resistance" property
by default. Then, no user should notice a difference.

Is any user/maintainer of these devices following this discussion and can comment?

I don't see where this subtraction from Rmax takes place for the tsc2007:

No pressure is usually treated as a special case in these drivers,
so reduction to "boolean" in user-space works well by accident and
might still hide a bug.

I usually look with evtest if ABS_PRESSURE is monotonic.
