That would confirm that the driver code is correct. My understanding is
that the PMC on Tegra expects a low-active IRQ from the PMIC, so we need
to invert the interrupt again in the PMC.

From the above it sounds like there would need to be some mechanism in
OMAP5 to invert the PMIC interrupt, similarly to how it is done in the
PMC on Tegra.
