This looks pretty close to the right solution, but you still have a
race: a falling edge may happen right between the get() and the
writel(), and you'll miss it. You're in a little better shape than any
of the rockchip proposals so far, because at least you do the ACK before
this step (Rockchip doesn't). But you do still have a narrow race
window.

I think you need to iterate on this, and check the status again
afterward, looping until you are sure you either got it right, or are
leaving an edge still latched.

And at that point, I think you have the solution I recommended in my
other email :)

Actually, it does; that's what the 'ext_port' register is doing. The
question is when exactly to do this toggling -- before or after the ACK,
and with what sort of ordering to ensure you don't end up at the wrong
polarity when exiting.
