[PATCH v3 1/1] pps: clients: gpio: Bypass edge's direction check when not needed

From: Bastien Curutchet
Date: Thu Apr 25 2024 - 08:29:19 EST


In the IRQ handler, the GPIO's state is read to verify the direction of
the edge that triggered the interruption before generating the PPS event.
If a pulse is too short, the GPIO line can reach back its original state
before this verification and the PPS event is lost.

This check is needed when info->capture_clear is set because it needs
interruptions on both rising and falling edges. When info->capture_clear
is not set, interruption is triggered by one edge only so this check can
be omitted.

Add a warning if irq_handler is left without triggering any PPS event.
Bypass the edge's direction verification when info->capture_clear is not
set.

Changes in v3:
- Add a warning in irq_handler
Changes in v2:
- Modifiy the way the bypass is done to avoid code duplication
