You're using the T19/GPIO support, then? In which case, there appears to be
something wrong on the touch controller rather than the driver itself.

Perhaps I should add some debug to mxt_input_button() - currently it will
not debug the fact that a click is received, although I guess that you will
see it in getevent.

I am suspicious that it may be that the power sequencing isn't quite right,
which sometimes leads to parts of the chip not working properly (eg GPIO
buttons working, but no touch).

The patch "use deep sleep when stopped" removes the reset on every resume
(which would otherwise kill resume performance). But that reset tends to
paper over a device which hasn't been powered up properly in the first place.

Could you try issuing a manual reset and see if the touch starts working? I
would normally do this by compiling our obp-utils software from
https://github.com/atmel-maxtouch/obp-utils using ndk-build and doing
something like:

mxt-app -d i2c-dev:1-004b --reset

(you need CONFIG_I2C_DEBUG to make /dev/i2c-1 appear)

If this works, then we need to adjust the board file that powers it on, the
correct power on sequence is contained in this later patch:

FWIW, this warning generally means you should be using the CHG line mode 1
in T18 COMMSCONFIG. It's benign, though.
