That's probably because its comparator maintains the interrupt asserted
as long as its value is less than the counter.

Level-trigger timers are the most common thing on this side of the known
universe.

Now, the real question is: why isn't that set as part of the
set_irq_type() callback, instead of hardcoding it in the platform?

This is exactly the kind of information that should come as part of the
DT or from the driver as one of the request_irq() flags.

It would save quite a bit of boilerplate code.
