Mode switches sent before control response are ignored.
On receiving unknown 8-byte packets, assume that mode switch was ignored
and reset by switching to normal mode, waiting then switching back to
wellspring mode.

---
This patch addresses an issue where the bcm5974 driver switches modes
before the device is ready, resulting in an unresponsive trackpad and
"bcm5974: bad trackpad package, length: 8" repeated in logs.

Discussion of issue in the thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-input/CAOQ1CL4+DP1TuLAGNsz5GdFBTHvnTg=5q=Dr2Z1OQc6RXydSYA@mail.gmail.com/

This fix is conservative, avoiding changing existing mode-switch
behavior because I cannot test all variations of hardware.

On receiving an unknown 8-byte packet, we assume the device is not in
wellspring mode and schedule an asynchronous mode reset.
