Do you have a real use case for this, one that will handle lost
interrupts because it cannot swap edge quick enough?

I personally would not do this, because it is dangerous, it gives the
impression the device can do both, when in fact it cannot reliably.

For me, the correct fix is to return EOPNOTSUPP or EINVAL for BOTH.
