Some Atmel maXTouch controllers, like mXT1386 and mXT3432S1 for example,
have a WAKE line that needs to be asserted in order to wake controller
from a deep sleep, otherwise it will be unusable. This series implements
support for the wakeup methods in accordance to the mXT1386 datasheet [1],
see page 29 (chapter "5.8 WAKE Line").

The mXT1386 is a widely used controller found on many older Android tablet
devices. Touchscreen on Acer A500 tablet now works properly after this
series.

This patchset is a continuation of the work originally started by
Jiada Wang [2].

Hi,

This series is very wanted by Android tablet devices from Acer, Asus and
other vendors which use Maxtouch 1386 controller. Touchscreens don't
work without the wakeup support, i.e. without this series. The wakeup
support is implemented in accordance to the datasheet and touchscreens
are working excellent using these patches.

Could you please take this series into v5.13?

Or could you please let me know what exactly needs to be improved?
Sorry, I was still slightly unhappy that we still are not tracking the
state of controller and opportunistically retrying failed I2C transfers,
but as I am failing to find time to come up with another solution I have
just applied your series.
Thank you! I don't have other solutions either, although /I think/
potentially it should be possible to differentiate the I2C error here.
On NVIDIA Tegra I see that I2C controller always gets a h/w NAK on TS
wake-up and it returns -EREMOTEIO in this case. IIRC, some other
non-NVIDIA I2C drivers always return -EIO on any error, so this method
isn't universal, but certainly it feels like there is some a room for
further improvements.
