    AIUI, there's some sort of resampling for edge inputs, but I'm by no
    means an expert. In earlier versions I defined this as level-only,
    undefined results for edge, but Gleb thought it might be useful for
    clock drift problems. There seem to be other complications for using it
    for that, so maybe we can go back to this being defined for level-only
    and undefined for edge. I'd probably vote for a documentation-only
    change vs trying to validate that a irqchip pin is programmed for level
    at the time of this ioctl.

    Bitmap and cross-referencing mentioned in earlier patches also fix this.
    Thanks,
