Patch applied.

The patch is fine and in line with other kernel drivers doing edge
trigger emulation and we do not hold back on useful features.

But I want to take this opportunity to ping Uwe Kleine-König about
his ideas for an edge trigger emulation library in the gpiolib core,
and whether this also follows the pattern.

I think we have a slew of these drivers doing similar stuff around.
