If __mxt_read_reg() fails then we will bail out and leave the device not
operable, so leaving the workaround disabled does not change anything.

No, because the workaround is checked only in mxt_acquire_irq() which is
called immediately preceding the check for RETRIGEN. And since
__mxt_read_reg() is a wrapper around i2c_transfer() and does not need
IRQs to be enalbed, we can move stuff around. Could you please check if
the following works for you:

Ah, I see. Thank you.
