4.4, 4.6: camera and unlock buttons produce tons of interrupts (was Re: N900 sleep mode)

Ok, that was 4.4 (with patches that should not be related).

I now checked with 4.6-rc2+mini_changes, and I'm getting similar results:

Battery 4.05V 4.07V 4.11V 85% 91% 98% 1546/1569 mAh Full -131/550/100
mA
00001fff 48005020 (fa005020) cm_idlest_per blocking bits: 0007e000
f7fffebd 48004a20 (fa004a20) cm_idlest1_core blocking bits: 00000042
0000000d 48004a28 (fa004a28) cm_idlest3_core

I'm booting from NOLO, and I'm _not_ loading/removing gadget modules,
as blocking bits are 0x42, so gadget is not a problem. (Let me know if
I'm wrong).

Let me retry with 4.6-rc2 (9735a22799b9214d17d3c231fe377fc852f042e9),
no modifications. Aha, but vanilla 4.6-rc2 does not have
cm_idlest1_core display in debugfs :-(. 

And yes, I see the same effect in /proc/interrupts:

180:        280  49052000.gpio   4 Edge      Camera Focus
181:        280  49052000.gpio   5 Edge      Camera Capture
(few seconds after that)
180:        738  49052000.gpio   4 Edge      Camera Focus
181:        738  49052000.gpio   5 Edge      Camera Capture

after I do echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/pm_debug/enable_off_mode .

> Care to post your .config somewhere, I could give that a try?

gzipped config is attached.

Note that I'm still using NOLO. I enabled the sleep, then went to
runlevel 1. LEDs still stay on, 55mA power consumption. That was with
1 in off_mode.
