How so?
1) insmod()
irq_create_fwspec_mapping(fwspec)
irq_domain_translate(fwspec, ... &type); <- Sets type to the FW value
virq = irq_find_mapping(domain, hwirq);
if (virq) {
// Path not taken
}
// Map interrupt
...
irqd_set_trigger_type(..., type);
2) rmmod()
tears down mapping
3) insmod()
Should be exactly the same as #1 because the previous mapping was
torn down by rmmod()
Even if the first mapping is not torn down by rmmod(), which is a bug in
itself, then the type is exactly the same as the firmware describes it, no?
So how exactly does that happen what you describe?

This commit is equaly redundant as 'This patch'
# git grep 'This patch' Documentation/process/
Also 'new checker' is not really a technical term.
