mxt_make_highchg exists due to the interrupts being edge triggered. It
forces the CHG line to go high.

With this implementation, I suspect that if a new message arrives after you
have read T44 and before you finish processing messages, then the interrupt
handler will not ever be run. What testing have you done on this?

The printout of T6 messages looks OK, though. I'd prefer to see a lookup
table for the report IDs.
