That is not true.  Although the GIC SPI only deals with level high and
rising edge, there is a separate IRQCR register on LX2160 that can
invert external interrupt.  If the current LX2160 code doesn't support
that, we need to fix it.  Adding Varun for this.  We probably can
extend the existing drivers/irqchip/irq-ls-extirq.c driver to support
LX2160.

And btw, the interrupt number 150 is obviously wrong too.  We probably
can remove it temporarily before the external interrupt is properly
supported on lx2160.
