After a reboot, I get the 'swipe finger to login' message.
I swipe, it tries to login and immediately logouts.
I then have to wait for the timeout to enter the password, I login and logout, and the fingerprint now works without any issue.
Message on syslog is the same as above mentioned
fprintd[1154]: Device responded with error: 789
fprintd[1154]: Ignoring device due to initialization error: The driver encountered a protocol error with the device.
