I think this is more of a driver/dts bug. The devicetree binding
documentation for the egalax_ts [1] does not describe the interrupts
flags that should be set or that the flag should be 0. Even the example
shows the interrupt flags being '2'(trigger high-to-low edge). These
flags are described by the interrupt-controller. The generic
interrupt-controller bindings describe the second parameter for
interrupts as interrupt trigger flags [2].

So I think having a '0' as second parameter in the 'interrupts' field is a
wrong representation of the actual hardware. This of course works as
long as the driver ignores the trigger settings from DT which is not
specified in the bindings.

Best Regards,

Markus
