This is a typo. Droid 4 has an edge based interrupt defined, PPD has
an level based interrupt defined. PPD got an interrupt storm, Droid 4
did not.

The 22ms chip-being-unresponsive are not newly introduced. The
same 22ms are also required for soft-reset. I did introduce a
new time (MXT_RESET_GPIO_TIME) for the "chip being reset" state,
since my randomly chosen 200ms from before were exaggerated
considering all mxt datasheets I checked stated only a few nano
seconds.

Yes and no. We need the wait, since the interrupt pin does random
stuff for 100ms after reset. We can do the wait-for-completion
after that time (see mxt_soft_reset function). I kept it simple,
since the following init does another soft reset anyways.
