Well if we wait in threaded interrupt, we won't see a new interrupt.
So yes, an additional key press will still produce an interrupt.

After a key press has been detected, we need to set a timer that checks
the keyboard controller state after it has idled. Then check for a
potentially stuck state, and clear all down events if the state is
idle with keys down.

I don't think we can really use runtime PM autosuspend delay here as we
already keep the device enabled with clock autogated so there's nothing
to do. If we now added runtime PM calls, we'd end up in mode with
clocks completely disabled. Maybe some tinkering of usage counts in
the interrupt handler would allow using PM runtime though :)
