Getting that work upstream has stalled for a couple of years because I
changed jobs. I have actually started recently to dust it off again, it
was later on in my queue but if you have the time to work on it that is
great.

I see what you mean - that is fair enough.

According to the maxtouch documentation, it isn't ready for comms until
the firmware asserts the CHG line. I've seen a bunch of devices that get
by without an explicit wait because the board file does the power on,
and by the time the driver gets to probe it's a few hundred ms later
anyway, so it doesn't matter. But if we put it all in the driver, it
will attempt to read the info block straight after the 100 msec delay
without waiting for CHG, and I suspect we'll end up with occasional
probe failures. It'll depend on the maxtouch device, though: they have a
range of different power on timings.

Which platform are you doing this for? Is it a Chromebook?
