[PATCH] input: goodix: Check the 'data ready' bit before reading data

[Paul Cercueil]

The MSB of the first byte read via I2C seems to indicate whether the
data is valid (or ready) when an interrupt is raised. Previously, this
bit was ignored, which resulted in a lot of incorrect detections of
"finger removed" events.

This seems correct, but the wording doesn't match the language used in 
the Goodix docs that were posted here some time ago[1].

I would have written:
The MSB of the first byte read via I2C at the coordinates address 
indicate whether the data is valid or ready (called "buffer status" in 
the datasheets) when an interrupt is raised. Previously, this bit was 
ignored, which resulted in a lot of incorrect detections of "finger 
removed" events.

And for the commit subject:
input: goodix: Check the 'buffer status' bit before reading data

This seems correct otherwise.

Hi Bastien,

Ok, I will send a V2 with a better commit message then.
