This function gets called to inform ACPI that this is the SCI interrupt
and, trigger and polarity are their attributes.

The return value is void and the caller is not interested in what ACPI thinks
about. 

This function adjusts the SCI penalty based on correct attributes passed
(ISA_ALWAYS vs. PCI_USING).

I agree that we lost this validation. 

I can keep sci_trigger/sci_polarity somewhere and keep that into the calculation
in get function.

Like this for instance,

	if (irq == acpi_gbl_FADT.sci_interrupt) {
+		if (sci_trigger != ACPI_MADT_TRIGGER_LEVEL ||
+		    sci_polarity != ACPI_MADT_POLARITY_ACTIVE_LOW)
+			penalty += PIRQ_PENALTY_ISA_ALWAYS;
+		else
			penalty += PIRQ_PENALTY_PCI_USING; 
	}

Then, we can't get rid of the function just we can reduce the contents.
