Won't it become a problem if other thread puts device into suspended /
bootloader state in the same time?

right, I will use mutex lock to prevent such case.
also I think data->mxt_status.intp_triggered isn't necessary,
when lock is used.

What will happen if debug_state was false during of mxt_probe() and then
the debug_state parameter was changed to true via sysfs?

module_param debug_state is added with permission 0,
so it's value won't change during driver operation

I think the INIT_DELAYED_WORK() and cancel_delayed_work_sync() should be
invoked unconditionally.

The "default=..." part of MODULE_PARM_DESC() probably isn't really
useful and could be omitted, don't you think so?

since debug_state can't be updated via sysfs, so I think add it's default in MODULE_PARM_DESC() is useful? what's your opinion?

Thanks,
