Ah good! The IRQ is disabled no sync too.
We actually don't have the possibility to implement a pen down state callback,
so I need to modify the code slightly to work even without one. (but not be
as accurate when the callback is not available)

Your patch where it schedules work rather than calling the I2C function directly
isn't in mainline.
I saw a patch where you added the work scheduling, and a later patch where you
fixed some spinlock stuff, have you resent the patch for the work scheduling?
