I am uncomfortable with the touchscreen portion of this driver ignoring
the framework of it's MFD core and mixing native IRQ management with the
ones done through the core.

What would happen if somebody changes da9052_request_irq() to do some
thing more than it is doing now so that your open-coded duplicate of the
same in da9052_ts_probe() is no longer equivalent? Or
da9052_disable_irq() no longer works correctly with IRQs allocated by
this sub-module?

Thanks.
