Re: [PATCH] pinctrl-baytrail: fix for irq descriptor conflict on ASUS T100TA

["Jin, Yao" <yao.jin@linux.intel.com>]

For the issue that touch screen doesn't work, could you check power
state of LPSS devices? For example:

cd /sys/bus/acpi/devices
grep -H . */power_state

If they are D3cold, it should be the reason why touch screen doesn't
work. That's another issue, unrelated to this gpio patch.
