I think having threaded interrupt and delayed work together defeats the
purpose of having threaded interrupt. If you want to add a delay before
repeating scan I think you can add it directly in
omap4_keypad_irq_thread_fn(). Or is there a concern that we will not
rely quickly enough on additional key presses? It is unclear to me if
additional key press within the debounce time will result in additional
interrupt.

Thanks.
