1+
The Allwinner A10 and H3 SoCs cannot read the state of a GPIO line when
2+
that line is muxed for IRQ triggering (muxval 6), but only if it's
3+
explicitly muxed for GPIO input (muxval 0). Other SoCs do not show this
4+
behaviour, so we added a optional workaround, triggered by a quirk bit,
5+
which triggers remuxing the pin when it's configured for IRQ, while we
6+
need to read its value.
7+
8+
For some reasons this quirk flag was copied over to newer SoCs, even
9+
though they don't show this behaviour, and the GPIO data register
10+
reflects the true GPIO state even with a pin muxed to IRQ trigger.
11+
12+
Remove the unneeded quirk from the A523 family, where it's definitely
13+
not needed (confirmed by experiments), and where it actually breaks,
14+
because the workaround is not compatible with the newer generation
15+
pinctrl IP used in that chip.
16+
17+
Together with a DT change this fixes GPIO IRQ operation on the A523
18+
family of SoCs, as for instance used for the SD card detection.

6+
7+
This fixes GPIO IRQ operation on boards with A523 SoCs, as seen by
8+
broken SD card detect functionality, for instance.
