Data sheets for a lot of the Goodix devices were shared a couple of
years ago on this list. You'll find the one for the GT911 in here:

You can probably translate it using Google Translate's Documents
upload, but I haven't had much luck at all...

Given that we do have access to the datasheet, it would also be useful
for the patch to mention where in the datasheet it says that the reset
line can be left pulled-up, or mention on which shipping device this
setup is already used (and if so, what the DTS or ACPI snippet that
declares those is).

Cheers
