But then why Tegra need to set PALMAS_POLARITY_CTRL_INT_POLARITY
if dts has IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH? Shouldn't the Palmas default low
setting be correct for Tegra if PMC expects active-low interrupt
and then inverts it for GIC?

What seems to make most sense for me right now is either
this option A:

1. Palmas TRM has the INT_POLARITY register misdocumented
   the wrong way around

2. Tegra really gets a level-low interrupt now from
   Palmas with PALMAS_POLARITY_CTRL_INT_POLARITY set and
   then inverts it to level-high for GIC

3. Omap5 wakeupgen does not invert the interrupt for GIC
   and needs PALMAS_POLARITY_CTRL_INT_POLARITY cleared
   for level-high interrupt from Palmas that gets passed
   as level-high interrupt to GIC

Or else option B:

1. Palmas TRM is correct for INT_POLARITY register

2. Tegra should not set PALMAS_POLARITY_CTRL_INT_POLARITY
   as Tegra PMC already translates Palmas level-low interrupt
   to level-high for GIC

3. Omap5 wkupgen also translates palmas interrupt and must
   not set PALMAS_POLARITY_CTRL_INT_POLARITY

Anybody got better explanations?

BTW, this interrupt is pretty easy to test with the
rtctest tool in Linux kernel:

tools/testing/selftests/rtc/rtctest.c
