We have a board with an FT5446, which is close enough to a
FT5506 (i.e. it also supports up to 10 touch points and has similar
register layout) for this driver to work. However, on our board the
iovcc and vcc regulators are indeed controllable (so not always-on),
but there is no reset or wakeup gpio hooked up.

Without a large enough delay between the regulator_enable() calls and
edt_ft5x06_ts_identify(), the first edt_ft5x06_ts_readwrite() call
fails with -ENXIO and thus the device fails to probe. So
unconditionally do an mdelay(300) instead of only when a reset-gpio is
present.

Thanks.

Dmitry, any chance this could get picked up? I don't see it in
next-20221226.
