Oh, thanks Marc. Will look into it. The problem is because I call
handle_irq() directly for the GPIO IRQ which is not triggered but we end
up mask, eoi etc.

How about calling handle_simple_irq(), which doesn't seem to the IRQ
registers?

There are some unnecessary complexity with the approach that we are
trying to avoid.

The TLMM may or not may not be powered off (depending on the SoC state)
and Linux has no control on it. The PDC will remain powered on but we
don't want the PDC interrupt enabled always, since we will receive to
interrupts (one from TLMM and one from PDC) for every event. So we have
to keep the PDC interrupt configured as wakeup interrupt but operate on
the fact that when we go into suspend or cpuidle we will have to switch
to enabling the PDC interrupt and disabling the GPIO IRQ and swap back
when we resume. This dance is harder with cpuidle (notifying the TLMM
driver, when all the CPUs are in idle) than suspend/resume which has
nice callbacks and is what we are trying to avoid but using the PDC
interrupt always.

Thanks,
Lina
