[PATCH 0/2] Input: st1232 - add support for firmware version

[Michael Tretter]

The st1332 runs a firmware and reports the version and revision of the
firmware via the registers of the device.

Read the firmware version and revision from the respective registers,
print it to the log and report it via sysfs.

[PATCH 1/2] Input: st1232 - read firmware version and revision

[Michael Tretter]

According to the data sheet, the st1332 contains a firmware, which may
be updated. The version and revision of the firmware may be read from
the registers of the device.

Read the firmware version and revision and report it to the log when
probing the device.

Why unaligned? You are not reading at an offset and allocated memory is
cache line aligned.

Thanks.

I copied what other touchscreen drivers were doing to read the version,
but missed that they either read at an offset or use a buffer on the
stack.

Should I send a v2 or can you change this to le32_to_cpu() while
applying the patch?

Thanks!

Michael

I just sent a v2.
