Yes, when configuring the pin as 0xf (GPIO interrupt) instead of 0x0 (GPIO
input) the issue is not present indeed. So after Nick answer my question about
what I got wrong with the "linux,gpio-keymap" property, I will change the pin
function when re-posing the DTS changes for the atmel touchpad.

It would be great to know if there is a good reason. I see indeed that all
pinctrl setup in the Peach Pit/Pi and Snow DTS that involves interrupts are
using 0x0 as the pin function. Since as Tomasz explained Samsung SoC makes a
difference between GPIO-IRQ and GPIO input I guess that it's better to change
those to 0xf instead. What do you think?
Regardless of this though I think that both the patch to move the IRQ
pinmux setup from .irq_set_type to the .irq_request_resources and the patch to
to prevent any pinmux reconfiguration are good improvements to avoid future
issues like the one we found here.
