Power key press sends up+down events simultaneously

[gsteimle]

Hello.

We have Android 7.1.2 (Nougat) running on a device with imx6. When we press the Power key on the device, we see the following getevent output that shows shows both DOWN and UP events being sent. When the Power key is released, no event is seen:

[     726.515409] /dev/input/event2: EV_KEY       KEY_POWER            DOWN
[     726.515409] /dev/input/event2: EV_SYN       SYN_REPORT           00000000
[     726.530056] /dev/input/event2: EV_KEY       KEY_POWER            UP
[     726.530056] /dev/input/event2: EV_SYN       SYN_REPORT           00000000

With the same hardware running Android JellyBean, we see the expected behavior, where the DOWN event is seen on the key press, and the UP event is seen on the key release. Can you help us to produce the expected behavior on Nougat?

Here is the related device tree entry:

    gpio_keys: gpio-keys {
        compatible = "gpio-keys";
        pinctrl-names = "default";
        pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_gpio_keys>;
        
        volume-back {
            label = "Volume Back";
            interrupts-extended = <&gpio7 12 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING>;
            wakeup-source;
            linux,code = <KEY_BACK>;
            debounce-interval = <5>;
        };

        power {
            label = "Power Button";
            interrupts-extended = <&gpio1 5 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING>;
            wakeup-source;
            linux,code = <KEY_POWER>;
            debounce-interval = <5>;
        };
    };

Further details might be seen from the "getevent -li" output:

Hello,

Are you still having a problem with this?

Otherwise, can you please pass me the revision of your board?

Best regards,

Diego.

Hi,

We were able to resolve this by replacing this line in the power button section of the device tree (.dtsi) file

interrupts-extended = <&gpio1 5 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING>;

with this

gpios = <&gpio1 5 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING>;

Thanks,

Gary
