I do not think that this should be done in the driver. The device either
has interrupt descriptor or GpioInt decriptor in DSDT and SPI core/ACPI
should do the right thing and configure GPIO as input and set interrupt
polarity accordingly, so when you do request_threaded_irq() you only
need to specify IRQF_ONESHOT.

See drivers/spi/spi.c - in case there is no interrupt specified we call
acpi_dev_gpio_irq_get(). Do you see it called in your case? Or your DSDT
has interrupt for the touchscreen device and acpi_spi_add_resource() and
acpi_dev_resource_interrupt() are called? You need to trace it and
figure out if there is an issue there with setting up interrupt
properly.

Thanks.
