Subject: [PATCH v3 1/1] pps: clients: gpio: Bypass edge's direction check when not needed

In the IRQ handler, the GPIO's state is read to verify the direction of
the edge that triggered the interruption before generating the PPS event.
If a pulse is too short, the GPIO line can reach back its original state
before this verification and the PPS event is lost.

This check is needed when info->capture_clear is set because it needs
interruptions on both rising and falling edges. When info->capture_clear
is not set, interruption is triggered by one edge only so this check can
be omitted.

Add a warning if irq_handler is left without triggering any PPS event.
Bypass the edge's direction verification when info->capture_clear is not
set.

Changes in v3:
 - Add a warning in irq_handler
Changes in v2:
 - Modifiy the way the bypass is done to avoid code duplication
