Input: Issue with multiple inputs are enabled

[AnkyXCoder]

Describe the bug

Problem:
Observation 1:
When using multiple input devices a.) a touch controller - LVGL Pointer and b.) an encoder - LVGL Encoder are enabled with LVGL on ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1, device is not booting up or gets stuck on the boot-up.
Observation 2:
When only one of the inputs is enabled at a time, either only LVGL Pointer or LVGL Encoder is enabled, the device works as expected.
Observation 3:
When Input Touch Controller's Interrupt configuration (for example CONFIG_INPUT_CST816S_INTERRUPT=y, CONFIG_INPUT_FT5336_INTERRUPT=y) is enabled.
On input to Touch Panel, an interrupt should be generated. But it is not generating and hence, the work is not getting submitted to process the event.
Observation 4:
When only LVGL Pointer is enabled and Interrupt Configuration is disabled (for example CONFIG_INPUT_CST816S_INTERRUPT=n, CONFIG_INPUT_FT5336_INTERRUPT=n), then with the changes and configuration mentioned below, the Keypad and Encoder Demo works as expected.

Steps to reproduce

Necessary changes added:
Updated modules/lib/gui/lvgl/demos/keypad_encoder/lv_demo_keypad_encoder.c to accept Touch Inputs by adding LV_INDEV_TYPE_POINTER to group.
Selected LV_Z_DEMO_KEYPAD_AND_ENCODER as default values for LV_Z_DEMO choice in samples/modules/lvgl/demos/Kconfig.
Added/Updated board specific overlay file:

Observation 1:
When using multiple input devices a.) a touch controller - LVGL Pointer and b.) an encoder - LVGL Encoder are enabled with LVGL on ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1, device is not booting up or gets stuck on the boot-up.

Can you attach a debugger and check for hard faults?

Observation 3:
When Input Touch Controller's Interrupt configuration (for example CONFIG_INPUT_CST816S_INTERRUPT=y, CONFIG_INPUT_FT5336_INTERRUPT=y) is enabled.
On input to Touch Panel, an interrupt should be generated. But it is not generating and hence, the work is not getting submitted to process the event.

That is confusing to me. The input drivers usually support interrupt mode or polling. If you disable interrupt mode or not hook up the interrupt pin, of course there will not be any interrupts. From the viewpoint of LVGL it does not matter from which mode the events are emitted. You can add CONFIG_INPUT_EVENT_DUMP to add logging of any raised events.

I just tested the demo on the native sim and a mimxrt1060 with a gt911 touch driver, and it works as expected.

EDIT:// Maybe there are exotic quirks with the way you assigned your pins?

I don't have a debugger but as per the logs, the device gets stuck on the boot-up only and there are no log prints or shell showing up.

As mentioned in the observations and attached overlay file, all the pins for Touch Controller are properly configured and not conflicting with other peripherals. Also, to mention that, when LVGL Encoder node is disabled, then the same code and sample works with the Touch Controller Interrupt configuration enabled.
