Re: [BUG 5/5] [BUG] media: atomisp: atomisp causes touchscreen to stop working on Microsoft Surface 3

Thank you for your comment :-)

First, I need to correct what I said in the previous mail. I later found
that loading only "atomisp" (as well as its dependency,
atomisp_gmin_platform) does not cause this issue.

What causes this issue is rather, loading sensor drivers (as well as its
dependency, atomisp_gmin_platform).

These sensor drivers for surface3 are both not upstream, but I made them
as similar as possible to the upstreamed ones. So, I guess this issue
can still be reproducible on some other devices.

I can't (easily) try touchscreen on mipad2 because it won't boot without
nomodeset and somehow GNOME won't start if it's using nomodeset (on Arch
Linux).

Here is the diff. The "good" one is before loading sensor driver, the
"bad" one is from after loading sensor driver:

Note that lines "70:" and "d0:"/"e0:" change over time. So, the actual
change caused by loading sensor driver is line "50:"

and in atomisp_gmin_platform.c file,

/* CRYSTAL COVE PMIC register set */
#define CRYSTAL_1P8V_REG 0x57
#define CRYSTAL_2P8V_REG 0x5d
#define CRYSTAL_ON 0x63
#define CRYSTAL_OFF 0x62

indeed we're poking at 0x57 and 0x5d. So, maybe this issue is caused by
regulators? I tried what would happen if I kept sensor power on before
in sensor drivers, but there was no effect. But I feel I need to look
into it again further.

According to this Android kernel commit [1], the address for 1P8V and
2P8V are updated to the CRC+ ones (the upstreamed atomisp already has
this change)

[1] https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/commit/2f8221ba9a3770aed1ecfad2d04db61b95f30394
("update PMIC v1p8/v2p8 address")

I'm now using cht one with your patch, but the situation is the same
as before.
