I don't know if this is a hardware limitation or not, but currently the
armada 37xx doesn't support
level interrupts:

[    4.013280] genirq: Setting trigger mode 8 for irq 44 failed
(armada_37xx_irq_set_type+0x0/0x158)
[    4.014075] mv88e6085: probe of d0032004.mdio-mii:01 failed with
error -22

The function armada_37xx_irq_set_type() only supports edge interrupts.

On the plus side, DTC no longer objects to level interrupts on southbridge.
