I think I finally got it: I traced irq_get_irq_type() just before
calling devm_request_threaded_irq(), and the trigger flag was properly set.
The thing is that the IRQ was triggered only if I actually set the
trigger in the flag (using "IRQF_ONESHOT | irq_get_irq_type(spi->irq)"
was making it working).

And the final problem I had was that I was requesting the gpiod
for the interrupt. I think this just messed up the gpiochip
configuration and the request irq needs to reset it properly.

So removing a bunch of lines of code solves it :)
(I know, you already told me to remove it in v1, but it did not work at
that time :-P ).

v4 on its way after a few more tests.

Cheers,
Benjamin
