Pretty certain. Your current patchset is at:
https://github.com/hadess/gt9xx/tree/irina-tirdea

And the patches are yours, with the prefix and Documentation removed.

I don't have access to the Onda v975w anymore, but let me CC: a few
people that could also help with testing.

Carlos, Cosimo, Christian, there's a patchset for you to test on the
Onda v975w at:
https://github.com/hadess/gt9xx/commits/irina-tirdea

Doing an "rmmod goodix ; insmod ./goodix_backport.ko" should be enough
to test whether the patch set works. If it doesn't work correctly,
you'll need to reboot the machine, swap the irq_idx and rst_idx values
at:
https://github.com/hadess/gt9xx/commit/c27de79f494c2b2e7a198ff4d27976ae93669dbd#diff-dddc2849e36327439530f3e2faacec4fR321

and try again.

If all that fails, could you please send the output of "dmidecode" to
Irina?

Cheers
