AFAICT setting IRQF_EARLY_RESUME causes it to not be resumed during
normal IRQ resuming, but earlier during the syscore_resume() call.

There are 2 problems with this:

1. When using S3 suspend syscore_resume() runs before any device
suspend handlers, so any state restoring which the GPIO controller's
resume handler is doing has not been done yet. While esp. after
S3 suspend the restoring may be important (s2idle suspend should
not touch the GPIO registers contents).

2. When using S2idle suspend syscore_resume() *never* runs, and
IRQs marked with IRQF_EARLY_RESUME are skipped during the normal
IRQ resume phase, so these IRQs will never be resumed.

Also IRQF_EARLY_RESUME is used almost no where:

[hans@x1 linux]$ ack -l IRQF_EARLY_RESUME drivers
drivers/xen/events/events_base.c
drivers/rtc/rtc-sc27xx.c
drivers/mfd/twl4030-irq.c

Which is probably why we have not yet hit the s2idle issue with it.

So this all in all seems like a bad idea, and we need to better root
cause the issue with these Elan touchpads and fix the actual issue.

Regards,

Hans
