OK.

I thought about a dump_stack() but considered it as too much.
print_symbol() is a nice idea though.

No, I don't. But for example orion5x_gpio_set_irq_type might return
-EINVAL. txx9_irq_set_type seems to have the same limitation as ns9xxx
and returns -EINVAL if more than one trigger type is requested.
