I just tested the touch screen on my device  with your kernel and couldn't
fault it.

I uncommented the printk  at the end of ts_get_pendown_state()  in
board-omap3gta04.c whenever I touch the screen I get a stream of

ts_get_pendown_state() -> 0
ts_get_pendown_state() -> 0
ts_get_pendown_state() -> 0
ts_get_pendown_state() -> 0
ts_get_pendown_state() -> 0
ts_get_pendown_state() -> 0
ts_get_pendown_state() -> 0

until I  remove the  finger/pen, which results in

ts_get_pendown_state() -> 0
ts_get_pendown_state() -> 0
ts_get_pendown_state() -> 0
ts_get_pendown_state() -> 1
ts_get_pendown_state() -> 1


(i.e. two events with a value  of '1').

If I run
  evtest /dev/input/event0

I get the expected:

Event: time 459.939331, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 330 (BTN_TOUCH), value 1
Event: time 459.939361, type 3 (EV_ABS), code 0 (ABS_X), value 2211
Event: time 459.939361, type 3 (EV_ABS), code 1 (ABS_Y), value 1886
Event: time 459.939361, type 3 (EV_ABS), code 24 (ABS_PRESSURE), value 701
Event: time 459.939361, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------


when I first touch, and 

Event: time 460.581420, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 330 (BTN_TOUCH), value 0
Event: time 460.581451, type 3 (EV_ABS), code 24 (ABS_PRESSURE), value 0
Event: time 460.581451, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------


when I stop touching.

This is consistent, where I touch lots of times  in succession, or leave it
for a minute before touching again.

Could you try the same experiments and report the results?
