commit 1c95348ba327fe8621d3680890c2341523d3524a upstream.
Ingenic SoCs don't natively support registering an interrupt for both
rising and falling edges. This has to be emulated in software.
Until now, this was emulated by switching back and forth between
IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING and IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING according to the level of
the GPIO. While this worked most of the time, when used with GPIOs that
need debouncing, some events would be lost. For instance, between the
time a falling-edge interrupt happens and the interrupt handler
configures the hardware for rising-edge, the level of the pin may have
already risen, and the rising-edge event is lost.
To address that issue, instead of switching back and forth between
IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING and IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING, we now switch back and
forth between IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW and IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH. Since we
always switch in the interrupt handler, they actually permit to detect
level changes. In the example above, if the pin level rises before
switching the IRQ type from IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW to IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH,
a new interrupt will raise as soon as the handler exits, and the
rising-edge event will be properly detected.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
