I don't think this is a good idea.

Some vendors GPIO0 doesn't connect to the power button but instead to 
the EC.  If it's connected to the EC, the EC might instead trigger GPIO0 
for lid or power button or whatever they decided for a design specific way.

I'd worry that we're going to end up with inconsistent results if they 
have their own debouncing put in place in the EC *because* they were 
relying upon the Winblue debounce behavior.

After all - this was fixed because of

Something we could do is add an extra callback for ACPI button driver to 
call the GPIO controller IRQ handler.  Worst case the IRQ handler does 
nothing, best case it fixes this issue.
I'm not sure how we'd tie it to something spec compliant.
