6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bastien Curutchet <redacted>

[ Upstream commit a01f6287c244f35eeec11ca932d09061181eed8c ]

In the IRQ handler, the GPIO's state is read to verify the direction of
the edge that triggered the interruption before generating the PPS event.
If a pulse is too short, the GPIO line can reach back its original state
before this verification and the PPS event is lost.

This check is needed when info->capture_clear is set because it needs
interruptions on both rising and falling edges. When info->capture_clear
is not set, interruption is triggered by one edge only so this check can
be omitted.

Add a warning if irq_handler is left without triggering any PPS event.
Bypass the edge's direction verification when info->capture_clear is not
set.
