Yes, I like this one better. I think, it is still prone to races, but
it's a much better option.

After turning this around, I think I finally got what was going on (and
yes, it's basically a race that should have been caught long ago):
- during resume, the i2c-hid driver calls reset, which is a long (few
ms) operation.
- hid-multitouch is also called during resume, and right after i2c-hid
- hid-multiotuch immediately emits for touchpads a set input mode (this
was unseen with touchscreens because they do not have to be switched
into a proper mode)
- there is a race between hid-multitouch accessing the features while
the device is still resetting. And our reset interrupt never gets to
us because there was an other operation in progress to request/set
reports

So the actual fix would be to make hid-multitouch wait until we reset
i2c-hid.

This should be done by either a mutex or a spinlock in
i2c_hid_output_raw_report() and i2c_hid_resume() that would protect a
flag set during suspend and cleared after resume.

(not sure if this is clear :-P )

Cheers,
Benjamin
