The IRQ will be fired again after we exist the tsc2007_soft_irq in my
test, as I re-enable the irq before existing the code.

No, the max_rt won't help here, if the rt > max_rt, it won't break the
while loop, but just issue a warning message

		if (rt <= ts->max_rt) {
			.......

		} else {
			/*
			 * Sample found inconsistent by debouncing or pressure is
			 * beyond the maximum. Don't report it to user space,
			 * repeat at least once more the measurement.
			 */
			dev_dbg(&ts->client->dev, "ignored pressure %d\n", rt);
		}
