List a new solution for the similar cases below, please see if this 
design is reasonable?

1. Two SysFS files("dsb_edge_ctrl_idx" and "dsb_edge_ctrl_val") will be 
created in this case.

2. First write to the node "dsb_edge_ctrl_idx" to set the index number 
of the edge detection.

3. Then write to the node "dsb_edge_ctrl_val" to set the value of the 
edge detection.

For example, if we need need to set "Falling edge detection" to the edge 
detection #220-#222, we can issue the following commands.

echo 0xdc > tpdm1/dsb_edge_ctrl_idx

echo 0x1 > tpdm1/dsb_edge_ctrl_val

echo 0xdd > tpdm1/dsb_edge_ctrl_idx

echo 0x1 > tpdm1/dsb_edge_ctrl_val

echo 0xde > tpdm1/dsb_edge_ctrl_idx

echo 0x1 > tpdm1/dsb_edge_ctrl_val

If this design is acceptable, we will rewrite other similar nodes based 
on this solution.

Let me know if you have any concerns or good suggestions for this solution.


Best,

Tao
