That didn't hekp.

That still works, so I assume it wasn't reset into bootloader mode. I 
also tried mxt-app --reset-bootloader, and mxt-app -i still works after 
that too.

It looks like 8d01a84b86b0 "Input: atmel_mxt_ts - implement T100 touch 
object support" from that branch is what solves the issue.

Ah, in linux-next, it's simply a double-unregister; both mxt_remove() 
and mxt_free_object_table() call 
input_unregister_device(data->input_dev). I think it would make sense to 
send the following patch for 3.17. Do you agree?
