I think this is too subtle and we may lose your fix again in
restructuring/refactoring. Could you change goodix_hid_check_ack_status()
to take length as an argument to be filled in? And then we'd do:

	error = goodix_hid_check_ack_status(ts, &response_data_len);
	if (error)
		return error;

The check for the correct length of the response could go into
goodix_hid_check_ack_status() as well.

What do you think?

Thanks.
