I've uploaded 2 logs to:

http://avon.wwwdotorg.org/downloads/mxt-logs/
(note there's no directory indexing, so manually add the filenames below to
the URL)

mxt-save-no-movement.xml

This is with the whole series applied. Neither mouse movement nor clicks
works. I tried mxt-app --reset and it made no difference to the dump results.

mxt-save-move-ok-no-clicking.xml

This is with "Input: atmel_mxt_ts - use deep sleep mode when stopped"
reverted; mouse movement works, but clicking doesn't.
Great, this has identified the issue with mouse movement (touch).

The config programmed into the NVRAM on your touch controller has the first
byte of the T9 touchscreen object set to zero. This is the CTRL byte which
enables/disables the touch object and what it reports. It is relying on
this to enable the touchscreen on resume:

https://github.com/dtor/input/blob/9d8dc3e529/drivers/input/touchscreen/atmel_mxt_ts.c#L2005-L2006

My "use deep sleep mode when stopped" patch stops the driver writing to the
T9.CTRL byte, so whatever config you have in NVRAM for that byte will be
used (ie zero, disabled). Going forward, deep sleep is more generic.
Indeed, newer chips do not have T9 at all, or they might be using other
touch objects. The deep sleep mode is a lower power state to be in, and is
what Atmel recommends.

However, it does mean changing the maxtouch cfg - you can write the 0x83 to
the first byte of T9 and save it to NVRAM, by doing:

mxt-app [device] -W -T9 83
mxt-app [device] --backup
If I do that, then both mouse movement and "touch" clicks work:-)

(Dmitry, I guess that means it's fine to go ahead and apply "Input:
atmel_mxt_ts - use deep sleep mode when stopped".)
OK, I've applied it (but because it now last I had to resolve a few
conflicts so if somebody could take a peek at my next branch that would
be great).

Thanks.
