Is 'z2' anything other than a touchscreen? If not, '-touchscreen' is
redundant. If so, then what else is there? You should be describing
physical devices, not just a protocol for touchscreen.

Just 'interrupts' here. 'interrupts-extended' is implicitly supported.

There is a standard way to do GPIO based chip-selects. It happens to be
'cs-gpios', but this is in the wrong place. It goes in the SPI
controller node.

4 space indentation is preferred here.

Why do we need this string? If you want a human consumed label for
some identification, we have a property for that purpose. It's called
'label'. But when there is only 1 instance, I don't really see the
point.
