[yocto] Building a out of tree kernel module on target system

Hello Bruce,

So I was finally able to compile the kernel module by creating a patch and
then applying that patch to linux recipe file.
However now, I am facing a different issue and have been trying to figure
that one out, Hence the delay in my response.

After creating an appropriate device tree overlay file. After loading the
module, the I2C driver still reads the screen abs_x_max=800 and
abs_y_max=480.
I have specified the frame_buffer_width and frame_buffer height as 1024 X
600. Also I have specifically provided touchscreen-x-size and
touchscreen-y-size in my device tree overlay to match the same.

Why could this be happening?

Regards,
Shravan Singh
