I think that all we need to do is add something to
mxt_read_t9_resolution (and probably rename it to mxt_init_t9_config)
that reads the 1st (CTRL) byte, and if it's zero, writes 0x83 (and
probably a dev_dbg() wouldn't go amiss)

Also call the same logic on reset (look for "Detect reset"), because
that wipes out the config.

Once we've done that, we can get rid of the MXT_SUSPEND_T9_CTRL and use
the normal T7 power up/down logic for suspend/resume on all devices.

FWIW there may be two instances of T9, but I've never seen a device that
actually had two screens and it's not supported really anyway with this
driver.
