Interrupt storm from pinctrl-amd on Acer AN515-42

Hello,

My Acer Nitro 5 AN515-42 laptop with a Ryzen 2700U hangs on boot with
recent kernel on an interrupt storm from pinctrl-amd.

Older kernels work but this seems to be because this module was disabled
by default. I tried to copy over old driver from 4.9 but it still
experiences same issue.

Digging a little deeper it seems the touchpad interrupt is active on
boot and since it's configured as "level" and no touchpad driver is
available yet there does not seem to be any way to clear it.

I don't know how this should be handled, booting with an active enabled but
unclearable interrupt seems like a platform bug to me. There is even an
option to set touchpad to "basic" which does some sort of ps2 emulation
but the IRQ issue still happens!

One workaround is to explicitly disable the interrupt from the handler
if no mapping is found; this will keep it disabled until
amd_gpio_irq_set_type is called later.

When in "i2c mode" the touchpad has an ACPI hid "ELAN0504", there are
many similar compatibe hids in elan_i2c driver and if I add this one it
probes successfully and handles irqs but fails to report input (i2c
read data is invalid).

Same laptop experiences some severe p-state throttling issues so there
are many things wrong here. Let me know if you want more version info
or ACPI dumps.
