[PATCH v2 2/3] input: gpio-keys: Use hrtimer for release timer

From: Paul Cercueil
Date: Sun Mar 07 2021 - 12:36:32 EST


Dealing with input, timing is important; if the button should be
released in one millisecond, then it should be done in one millisecond
and not a hundred milliseconds.

Therefore, the standard timer API is not really suitable for this task.

Convert the gpio-keys driver to use a hrtimer instead of the standard
timer to address this issue.

Note that by using a hard IRQ for the hrtimer callback, we can get rid
of the spin_lock_irqsave() and spin_unlock_irqrestore().
