Ugh. I guess it's ugly because the workaround would need to be in the
PDC driver but to properly do the workaround you need to be able to
read the state of the pin from the PDC driver? ...and I guess you
can't do that with the PDC register space so you'd either need to
violate a layer or 3 of abstraction and snarf into the GPIO register
space from the PDC driver or you'd have to provide some sort of API
access from the PDC back down to the GPIO driver?

Actually, though, I'm still not sure why this would need to be in the
PDC driver. Sure, you can't just magically re-use the existing
dual-edge emulation in pinctrl-msm.c, but you can add some new
dual-edge emulation for when your parent handles your interrupts,
can't you? As per usually, I'm talking out of my rear end, but I
sorta imagine:

1. At the head of msm_gpio_irq_set_type() if you detect that
"skip_wake_irqs" is set and you're on an SoC with this hardware errata
then you do a loop much like the one in
msm_gpio_update_dual_edge_pos() except that instead of changing the
polarity with msm_writel_intr_cfg() you change the polarity with
"irq_chip_set_type_parent()".

2. At the head of msm_gpio_irq_ack() you make the same function call
if "skip_wake_irqs" is set and you're on an SoC with this hardware
errata.

It doesn't feel all that ugly to me, assuming I'm understanding it
correctly. ...or maybe you can tell me why it'd be harder than that?

If we're going to try to do this, I think we're stuck with one of these:

1. A really really long list that we keep jamming more boards into.

2. Add an entry at the top-level device tree compatible to all
affected boards _just_ for this purpose. Seems ugly since we don't
need it for any other reasons.

3. Add some sort of property to the pinctrl node on these boards.
Seems ugly since conceivably this _could_ be worked around in
software.

I don't really like any of those options, so I'm really hoping we can
find out how to get a workaround in...
