First of all, this is my web mail interface, so please be kind with
my mail formatting ...

Look at this call chain :
request_irq()
  setup_irq()
    __setup_irq()
      __irq_set_trigger()
        pxa_gpio_irq_type() (aka. chip->irq_set_type)
          => hardware register manipulation

Moreover, you should be aware of the bijection existing between :
 - IORESOURCE_IRQ_LOWEDGE and IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING
 - it's HIGHEDGE twin
 - it is noted in : include/linux/interrupt.h

Yes, I'm quite sure.

I won't :)

__setup_irq(), that's the entry point.

Cheers.
