Definitely it's behavior of GIC, not WKPU's

external wakeup signal has a transition from High to Low to the SOC,
then output of
WIREER (rising detect) or WIFEER(falling detect) to generate INTID to
the GIC, you have to enable WIFEER to generate the IRQ signal to the
GIC which is also an evidence that the external wakup is falling edge.
With this clear *falling edge*, I have to write the below irq_request
code as:
request_irq(50, wkup12_interrupt, IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING...)
IMO, this is very weird because the wakeup signal is falling edge from
the point of SOC/GIC side, but I have to name it as
*IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING*, but it works just to pass the sanity
check(although I think which is not necessary as the fact shows)
