Why are you saying it is a board-specific issue? It seems to me that
it is behavior of a given controller, not behavior of a board that
happens to use such a controller?

We should gate the behavior either off a compatible or a new property,
but not both.

If the controller is in bootloader mode it will not be in a deep sleep
mode. If the controller was just reset via reset GPIO it will not be
in deep sleep mode. The controller can only be in deep sleep mode if
someone requested deep sleep mode. I'd recommend moving the mxt_wake
in the "else" case of handling reset GPIO.
