This was not the case by the time I did the patch...

The gpio_pendown is requested by the ads7846 driver and
of course you can't request the GPIO second time, so the driver failed.

The ads7846 driver requests the GPIO prior to using it.

Prior to requesting the IRQ, the ads7846_setup_pendown(spi, ts) method
is called, which requests the GPIO.

But then don't you have double requesting?

It is not used until the ads7846 driver probes.
