I don't have a datasheet unfortunately. :(

However, I tried to simulate this case on my board by keeping the reset
GPIO permanently de-asserted (i.e. high because of active-low). The
results are not entirely conclusive: The controller seems to respond to
commands and the initial configuration is read correctly. However, it
does not report any touch events. As soon as I add the temporary
assertion of the reset signal back it works fine again.

I suspect toggling the reset signal might be required to make the
controller come properly out of reset. I'll keep it required to be sure.

Thanks,
Stephan
