Please help try whether below changes could help.

I checked the schematic and iomux settings, I suspect the pad settings might
not be correct, it does not have PE set, even it has PUE. Without PE, PUE
will not work per my understanding.

If below patch works for you, I will post this patch to list. otherwise,
we have to revert my patch or remove IRQ_TRIGGER_LOW when calling
devm_request_irq().
