The above is just useless blurb.

I can't figure out at all WHY a generic interface has anything to do with
edge trigger configuration.

I assume this is (Nvidia) GIC specific nonsense, so why are you inflicting
this on every caller of this interface unconditionally w/o explaining what
the impact of this change might be and why it does not cause havoc for any
existing caller?

This is function is implemented in kernel/irq/ not in foo/gic/ so you
better come up with some coherent explanation.

Thanks,

tglx
