One issue we noticed is that now the gpio request and set input
directions operations are not called anymore. Some gpio controller
drivers (dln2, adnp, lynx_point from quickly browsing the code) do not
explicitly enable the GPIO pin nor set direction to input when the
interrupt is enabled. Depending on hardware this may be an issue - it
is on dln2 for example.

Should the gpio controllers enable and set to input in irq_enable,
irq_bus_sync_unlock, etc.? Or should this be done in gpiolib?
