Hi Bartosz,

as explained in the cover letter, I've found that the fixes become much nicer to implement (and to
review) if they are based on the refactoring. I can leave out _tqmx86_gpio_update_bits for now, but
removing "add macros for interrupt configuration" and "store IRQ triggers without offsetting index"
does make the actual fixes "store IRQ trigger type and unmask status separately" and "fix broken
IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_BOTH interrupt type" somewhat uglier.

That being said, you're the maintainer, and I will structure this series in any way you prefer. I
can remove the mentioned refactoring, even though it makes the fixes less pleasant. Another option
would be that I can submit just the refactoring for -next for now, and leave the fixes for a future
series. Let me know how you want to proceed.

Thanks,
Matthias
