I spotted a problem. Output lines are allocated
for edge interrupts in tango_set_type() but they
are never released. So if we insmod/rmmod modules
in a loop, we will run out of output lines.

It seems set_type() is not the right place for an
allocation. Perhaps that should be done in tango_map()?

I'll try to trace the code to figure out when the
unmap function is called, as well.

That question still stands.
