Axel, I believe the change makes perfect sense. Current code seems to
be based on my original code that was in turn based on very limited
understanding of the hardware, and furthermore I don't think that any
of the existing drivers use edge-triggered interrupts anyway.

The way you've structured it seems more logical, so I would be happy
for this to be merged.

Just booted a kernel with this patch on my WM8850, and everything
seems to work fine. Can't really say 'Tested-by', though, given the
above (no existing uses of edge-triggered interrupts that I'm aware
of).

Thanks a lot,
Alexey
