Hi!

First, thanks for the help!

Yes... Strange thing is, I'm not entering deeper idle states, and it still breaks my wifi ;-).

Fair enough.

wl1251_pins: pinmux_wl1251 {
pinctrl-single,pins = < 0x0ce (PIN_OUTPUT | MUX_MODE4)
/* gpio 87 => w\ l1251 enable */
0x05a (PIN_INPUT | MUX_MODE4)
/* gpio 42 => w\ l1251 irq */
>;
};

Aha. wl1251 is on the spi bus, too.

&mcspi4 {
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&mcspi4_pins>;

wl1251@0 {
...
interrupt-parent = <&gpio2>;
interrupts = <10 IRQ_TYPE_NONE>; /* gpio line 42 */
};

And yes, it has a GPIO irq -- irq 42. What should be configured to
make gpio 42 wake the system from deep idle?

So the glitches on the GPIOs reset the tsc2005, even when it should be
operational? That would explain stuff.

I'll try to figure out the pinmux stuff. ... but I guess touchscreen
is not really usable with screen off.

No patch is too ugly for testing :-).

Thanks, wil try.

Right. So I was able to get SD-card to work, so USB was disconnected,
but I was watching power consumption figures in a GTK window... on a
LCD. Ok. I guess I can monitor the power consumption over the wlan.

Thanks!
