Thank you for the logs. I am confused where these calls to put the
controller into deep sleep are coming from. Does something constantly
open and close input device? Do you have any additional patches? We
definitely do not issue deep sleep request in mxt_start(). Do you mind
putting dump_stack() into mxt_set_t7_power_cfg() to see where the calls
are coming from?

I also do not see additional "waking up controller" messages after
requesting the chip via T7 to be configured to be active, which I'd
expected to see if we indeed needed to wake it up again for T6 to
succeed.

Thanks.
