I notice that Laxman Dewangan initially added the feature as part of (I assume) work on Tegra, but these days Tegra is DT-only so it can't actually get used for that any more. If we have a real usecase, I think we can still take your patch, but my impression at the moment is that it may be better to instead remove the feature entirely by reverting d8ee4a1c9052 ("Input: gpio_keys - add support for interrupt only keys"). Regarding your initial use case of testing interrupt polarity, would you have been able to do the same thing by looking at the interrupt count in /proc/interrupts?Yes, I posted patch for interrupt key on context on key connected to PMIC-Onkey. On PMIC, there is onkey pin input which generates interrupt only when it toggles. So if we have key (power key on our platforms) connected to this pin then we will only get interrupt from PMIC. Instead of implementing full interrupt key driver, I added this support on existing gpio keys.
So is this code still in place, and do you think it's worthwhile to have a DT binding for it? Could the PMIC register a gpio controller instead? Arnd
