commit 4e5a04be88fe ("pinctrl: amd: disable and mask interrupts on probe")
had intended to work around firmware problems on a Microsoft Surface
device but actually masked other real bugs in firmware and the driver.

Before this commit, "wake on lid" doesn't work properly on a number of
systems, but this is because debounce handling was improperly configured
in the driver and due to a bug in this commit it gets configured a
different way.

commit b26cd9325be4 ("pinctrl: amd: Disable and mask interrupts on
resume") attempted to build on top of this to mask issues on resume, but
it happened to "fix" the bug in commit 4e5a04be88fe ("pinctrl: amd:
disable and mask interrupts on probe") which "broke" wake on lid since
the debounce handling was programmed differently.

This was reverted in commit 534e465845eb ("Revert "pinctrl: amd: Disable
and mask interrupts on resume"") which fixed the wake on lid.

To fix this series of unfortunate events and prevent them in the future
this series corrects the GPIO0 debounce handling and reverts commit
4e5a04be88fe ("pinctrl: amd: disable and mask interrupts on probe"). A new
patch that is safer is included that will fix spurious interrupt handling
and is expected to fix the issues that both
commit 4e5a04be88fe ("pinctrl: amd: disable and mask interrupts on probe")
and
commit b26cd9325be4 ("pinctrl: amd: Disable and mask interrupts on
resume") attempted to fix in a more scalable way.
I applied the series for the next kernel cycle (becoming v6.5).

If it gets urgent to get this in we can move it into the fixes (for v6.4 and
stable) but at least this way we get some rotation in linux-next and wide
testing of the patches.

I will push it once v6.4-rc1 is out.

Yours,
Linus Walleij

Thanks!  Especially given the regression we were dealing with before I think this is the right
approach.
