Subject: [PATCH] pps-gpio: use IRQ edge config when not capturing both edges

PPS signals with very short pulse-widths can be missed if their state
changes by the time the interrupt handler reads the GPIO pin state.

To avoid this in the case where we are only looking for one edge we can
use the edge configuration for the pin state but fall back to reading the
pin if both edges are being watched.
