On some platforms (such as Spreadtrum platform), the GPIO keys can only
be triggered by level type. So this patch introduces one property to
indicate if the GPIO trigger type is level trigger or edge trigger.

Changes since v2:
 - Use 'interrupt' property to indicate the irq type.

Changes since v1:
 - Diable the GPIO irq until reversing the GPIO level type.

I've looked at your patch in more detail now, and given it a bit more thought.

I wonder if you could move that logic into your gpiochip/irqchip driver instead.
It seems that what you do in the gpio-keys driver is to emulate edge triggered
behavior on a level triggered irqchip.

If you put the same logic into the gpio driver, you could simply make it
pretend to support an edge trigger on both edges and call into the interrupt
handler whenever the state changes.
