Yes.

I haven't seen this in any of SPEAr boards i have worked on. Maybe Rabin
would have, that's why he added that part of code :)

@Rabin/Linus: Do you remember why have you added this in stmpe driver:

+       if (stmpe->pdata->irq_invert_polarity)
+               icr ^= STMPE_ICR_LSB_HIGH;
+

Does somebody actually need it?
