What? Wouldn't that change the meaning of the key?

Well, #3 is how the driver happens to currently interpret the binding ;)
I believe the idea is that you get wakeup triggers on all events
(pressed or released). I'm not actually sure why though, since it
doesn't really make for a good use case. (We want both edges in S0, but
not really in S3.)

For some background: the case that inspired this is SW_PEN_INSERTED. We
want to receive events on both edges (PEN_INSERTED = "asserted"; and
!PEN_INSERTED = "deasserted", meaning pen ejected) in S0 (e.g., to
show/hide special UI menus when we think the pen is "in use"). But in
S3, we tend to want to wake only when the pen is ejected. We can't
invert the IRQ, because then ejection and insertion get swapped...
Also, per the above, the current wakeup condition is for both edges. We
want to override that.
