[PATCH v3 5/7] Input: synaptics-rmi4 - don't do unaligned reads in IRQ context

From: David Heidelberg via B4 Relay
Date: Sat Mar 08 2025 - 09:10:00 EST


From: methanal <baclofen@xxxxxxx>

Some replacement displays include third-party touch ICs which incur a
significant penalty (1-2 seconds) when doing certain unaligned reads.
This is enough to break functionality when it happens in the hot path,
so adjust the interrupt handler to not read from an unaligned address.
