As far as I can see all calculate Rtouch and ADS7846 reports
(Rmax - Rtouch), which looks sensible.

I think tsc200x works, since usually userspace is Xorg and I think
it only cares for x/y coordinates + boolean pressure. Since
no-pressure is correctly reported as 0, everything works as
expected. I currently don't have X running on my N900 due some
omapdrm bug, so I can't test this, sorry.

I suggest to put the resistance vs pressure thing in its own patch,
that also fixes tsc200x-core and merge it to linux-next after the
merge window.
