I think we can do it in the gpio chip driver inthe function 
xxx_gpio_irq_set_type().
When you register any irq and if this callback is available from gpio 
chip driver then this will get called. and so the setting the pi to 
input mode as well as putting the pin in GPIO mode can be done here.  
This is what we are doing it in gpio-tegra driver.
