Then it is not much of a key if we can't signal release.

gpio_keys
driver supports what it calls "interrupt only" mode where there is no
GPIO and we go just by the fact that we received interrupt. In this mode
the trigger type is expected to be set by the platform code (or OF), the
driver does not force need of both edges.
