On the Lenovo Tab E7 TB-7104F which has a Goodix GT-912F touch screen,
the touch screen fails to come online after loading firmware, producing
the error "Error reading 1 bytes from 0x8041: -6".

Comparing the upstream code with the Android stock sources a call to
goodix_int_sync is required between the upload of the firmware and the
watchdog restart. With this change the touchscreen is correctly detected
and working.

Relevant bit of the stock source driver at [1].

Credits for noticing the issue and finding its cause go to matemiller992
on the postmarketOS forums, I cannot provide tags as he wants to stay
anonymous.
