No, there is no need to add trigger type. The gpio-keys driver expects
trigger with both edges, falling and rising. If your GPIO chip does not
support it natively, you need to emulate edge trigger via level
interrupts by reprogramming trigger from active low to active high and
back on the fly. This should be done in the gpiochip/irqchip driver.
There is no need to change gpio-keys driver.

Thanks.
