Yes, the touch still able to come into non-working state after every s2idle,
but always can be resurrected by reloading spi_pxa2xx_platform.
What this series fixed is the following thing:
- without this series: reloading spi_pxa2xx_platform resurrects touch
input with causing NULL pointer dereference (system still operational
after this anyway)
- with this series: reloading spi_pxa2xx_platform resurrects touch input
*without* causing NULL pointer dereference
Let me know if any further info is required.
