Our implementation was just completely flawed. It did work with our
limited tests using the sysfs interface. But once we started with the
gpio_keys things fell apart. The set_wake did mask/unmask IRQs, which
is clearly the job of the respective mask/unmask function of a gpiochip.
After we found that, we looked at a few other drivers and designed this
following gpio-mxs.
So, the core part was to do the right thing in set_wake. Once that was
done, the runtime PM callbacks needed some realignment to determine
whether GPIO is a wakeup device or not.

So, this was really just a gpio-zynq problem, not really generic.

Thanks for applying. I'll post the gpiolib-sysfs patch on its own in a
separate submission.
