We may should take care of the response. I have seen strange responses
after the third open of the device.

&i2c2 {
       ar1021@4d {
               compatible = "microchip,ar1021-i2c";
               reg = <0x4d>;
               interrupt-parent = <&gpio3>;
               interrupts = <26 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING>;
       };
};

I am not sure if this is really the cause of the problem! As without this commit
my device survives one week of a automated touch-press-test done with some
mechanical gear and with the help of an SPS.

As it is release time at my company I had to stop finding the root
cause but will look into the issue
again in 2-3 weeks.
