Basically this boils down to setting a single bit which chooses
between 2 and 4 debounces. The tricky thing is that the default
value for the pdata will be 0, and the value of the bit for 2
debounces will be 0. So inorder to show we have intentionally set
the pdata we set a value that is non-zero but won't get written
into the register. It is a little awkward but I don't want to
change how the pdata works as there are probably systems out of
tree that use it.
