Thanks for your patch!

Are you sure "renesas,rza1-irqc" handles this wrong? How should it
be handled instead? I read the other thread[1], but didn't became
any wiser: interrupts are mapped one-to-one with the RZ/A1 IRQC.

In both v5.15 and v5.16-rc1, interrupts seem to work fine on RSK+RZA1
and RZA2MEVB, both with gpio-keys and when used as a wake-up interrupt.

With this patch applied, I see double keypresses with evtest: when
pressing a key, I get a key-down event, immediately followed by a
key-up event. When releasing the key, I again get two events.

Good (v5.15 or v5.16-rc1):

Event: time 1637585631.288990, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 2 (KEY_1), value 1
Event: time 1637585631.288990, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------
Event: time 1637585631.499924, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 2 (KEY_1), value 0
Event: time 1637585631.499924, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------

Bad (v5.16-rc1 + this patch):

Event: time 1637585341.946647, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 2 (KEY_1), value 1
Event: time 1637585341.946647, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------
Event: time 1637585341.960256, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 2 (KEY_1), value 0
