Indeed ! An also for the AT91sam9263-EK which has the same touchscreen chip.

Ok, let me know when you have a newer code. I will try to adapt my
ads7843 support then.

I said that because it is true that most of spi controller drivers 
manage rx only transactions filling the tx buffer with zerros but the 
spi_s3c24xx.c driver seems to fill with ones (line 177 hw_txbyte())

Anyway, I will check in our controller driver to sort this out.
