Yeah if there's some hardware between the WLAN device and the SoC
inverting the interrupt, I don't think we have clear a way to deal
with it short of setting up a separate irqchip that does the
translation.

But in some cases we also do not want to invert the interrupt, so
I think this property should take IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING and
IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING values to override the setting for
the WLAN end of the hardware?

Let's wait a bit longer for comments from Eyal too.

Regards,

Tony
