[PATCH] Input: elants_i2c: Properly handle the reset GPIO when power is off

From: Douglas Anderson
Date: Thu Nov 17 2022 - 15:38:47 EST


As can be seen in elants_i2c_power_off(), we want the reset GPIO
asserted when power is off. The reset GPIO is active low so we need
the reset line logic low when power is off to avoid leakage.

We have a problem, though, at probe time. At probe time we haven't
powered the regulators on yet but we have:
devm_gpiod_get(&client->dev, "reset", GPIOD_OUT_LOW);

While that _looks_ right, it turns out that it's not. The
GPIOD_OUT_LOW doesn't mean to init the GPIO to low. It means init the
GPIO to "not asserted". Since this is an active low GPIO that inits it
to be high.

Let's fix this to properly init the GPIO. Now after both probe and
power off the state of the GPIO is consistent (it's "asserted" or
level low).

Once we fix this, we can see that at power on time we no longer to
assert the reset GPIO as the first thing. The reset GPIO is _always_
asserted before powering on. Let's fix powering on to account for
this.

This issue was found mostly due to code inspection. A partner was
having issues with power sequencing with this touch screen and I
noticed this issue in the code. Though this patch doesn't seem to
fully address the problems that the partner was having (they are still
debugging), in the very least it seems correct and we should probably
take it.

This problem has been around for a while. Presumably the touchscreen
is tolerant enough to this short period of time at bootup where the
reset line was leaking power into the unpowered touchscreen, though
it's still not great.
