Yes, there's indeed an IP called PMC (Power-Management Controller) on
Tegra. It has a special input that is usually wired up to the PMIC
interrupt and a bit in the control register that configures the polarity
of that interrupt. If the PMIC generates a low-active interrupt we
usually set that bit to make sure it is properly sampled by the PMC.

The symptoms of this being incorrectly configured is usually an
interrupt storm on the PMIC interrupt, which I think typically results
in the system not booting at all, or taking a very long time to boot
because of that storm.

Does somebody have access to the Palmas documentation? That should
pretty clearly state what the default polarity is and what it changes to
if you set the interrupt polarity bit.

From what you're saying it sounds like either the logic is the wrong way
around in the Palmas MFD driver (and we correct it by switching it back
to the correct polarity in the PMC) or that you'd need to find some way
of inverting in on OMAP5.
