Hmm. According to the Variscite materials they use the BD71847AMWV -
not the BD70528. BD71847 does also have level active IORQs (active low)
- but misconfiguration may go unnoticed as (AFAIR) the BD71847 IRQs do
mostly inform conditions leading to reset by HW - the power button
short push being an exception. Thus configuring the IRQ to falling edge
is likely to work without deadlocking due to the race I mentioned.
(BD70528 would use IRQs for RTC so it would possibly be more
errorprone). Anyways the board dtses go beyond my area - but the
example fix for BD70528 definitely looks good :) Thanks again.
