Both variants will work. But if other controller models have a similar
need, then a wakeup-method property should be more universal since
potentially it could be reused by other TS models without much changes
to the code.

To be honest, I'm not familiar with other Atmel TS controllers, so have
no clue what variant should be more preferred. The wakeup-method should
be a safer variant, but it also will be a bit more invasive code change.

My observation on Acer A500 shows that first I2C transfer after the
reset via GPIO could easily get a NAK, hence mxt_wake() definitely must
be placed before the mxt_read_info_block(). Apparently reset doesn't
wake controller.

What's even more interesting is that I now spotted that the NAK could
happen in mxt_interrupt() after mxt_initialize().

I'm also now seeing that both mxt_set_t7_power_cfg() and
mxt_t6_command() in mxt_start() need the mxt_wake()! Because both 100%
get a NAK without the wakes.

Maybe adding I2C retries still isn't a bad idea?
