Though request_any_context_irq() would work here, but I would still
prefer to use the request_threaded_irq(..) because power-on key functionality
is in-built to this PMIC chip and it will always be threaded it seems. No new
thread will be created because they did the right thing in their PMIC core
irq code it seems.

We could prefer the request_any_context_irq(...) when we are using the line
(say gpio) coming out of this PMIC and used by generic device driver where
the another h/w design could have memory mapped gpio for the same device driver.

Better to keep this driver with request_threaded_irq(..) only.
