[PATCH] gpio-keys: poll for release if GPIO cannot interrupt on bothedges

From: Guennadi Liakhovetski

There are GPIO controllers, that cannot be configured to produce
interrupts on both edges. To be able to meaningfully use these for
gpio-keys, add a polling option.

I previously tried to solve this problem by reporting a release event
immediately after press, but this proved to be not very useful. This patch
adds a timer to poll for release events on such buttons. I so far set the
polling period to 50ms, don't know how good or bad this is, and whether we
want to have it configurable.
