If you look inside the input_report_key() function you can see that the
input subsystem internally tracks the key state. input_get_disposition()
returns INPUT_IGNORE_EVENT if the key bit already has the same value.
Only when the key changes its state, an event is sent to user space.
This means that all events reported to user space are effectively
rising/falling edges (an event with value "1" is a rising edge 0->1, an
event with value "0" is a falling edge 1->0).

The only reason why setting IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING works here is because
of the workaround added in commit be8fc023ef64 ("Input: pm8941-pwrkey -
simulate missed key press events") [1]. No event is reported when you
start pressing the key. When you release the key, you get a key press
event (rising edge) immediately followed by a key release (falling
edge). But the workaround was added to handle potentially missed
interrupts, not to inhibit reporting key press events.

In my opinion, if you want to perform an action on key release rather
than key press then you should adjust the user space program to do so.
From the point of view of the hardware DT (and even the kernel), the key
press happens when you actually start pressing the key, and not later
when you release it.

Stephan
