Can I ask what happens during the interrupt storm. Are you getting lots
of the "failed to read T44 and T5" message, or something else?

According to the data sheets there is a period after a reset where the
CHG line is temporarily set as an input, during which the host should
ignore it. If you don't, you might get a stray interrupt and try and
communicate with the device, which might leave it in a bad state. I
think you mentioned that later in your email.

The reset time varies per chip, but the 100ms in mxt_soft_reset() was
based on discussions with app support at Atmel, so should be correct in
most cases.
