I think you will need to serialize this anyway, as (AFAICS) you write to
report address, and then perform the read. There is nothing in the upper
layers that says that several report requests can not be sent at once,
and I think the device may also raise interrupt at the same time.
Without serializing/locking you may mix up the data.

It is not the touch controller that will get stuck. The host interrupt
controller will not repeat signalling the interrupt that is configured
as edge and it was asserted earlier.
Or are you saying that the touch controller will de-assert and re-assert
the interrupt line if it is not serviced within given time?
Thanks.
