Right, that's one of the issue with edge triggering. PERST# can be deasserted by
the host before EP driver probes. So if we wait for edge transition then we'll
be stuck.

For an endpoint, making this driver built-in makes sense since this forms the
basic functionality of the device and we do want it to probe asap (without
initramfs dance). But looking at other drivers, most of them (including Qcom RC)
doesn't support tristate.

But for the GKI requirement, I can add it.
