I have some devices that work just fine with the driver defaults while others won't work until the config is written (due to custom configuration values for parameters like trigger type, axis switch-over). I initially misunderstood the request_firmware_nowait interface, but after doing some additional tests this seems to be the best option. I will update the rest of the patches as well so that devices that do not have gpio pins declared in ACPI/DT or the config fw present will work just as they do now.
