I think this behavior is correct. The driver has to rely on the card 
config here. After all, all cards have the "ts hardware", they just do
not all have something connected to the input. The saa713x driver does
not necessarily have to directly detect and control all possible chips
which might be connected to the TS input. The config entry just tells
it that something is there and that the TS device is needed.
