Implementing one callback or the other really depends on how the HW behaves. The irq framework gives you a wide range of flows that allow you to plug your driver in the stack, but the prerequisite is that you know *exactly* how the HW behaves. Ack and EOI have very different meanings, are called from different flows, and correspond to different states in the interrupt life cycle.
Use the wrong one, and you will lose interrupts. If you don't know how the HW behaves, then the chances of something bad happening are pretty high (you'll end-up in deadlock land at some point). I'm afraid I cannot help you with that, short of being given access to some documentation that doesn't seem to exist.
