As I understand it, there are 2 types of mst-intc, one we need do EOI
operation(fiq) and the other we don't(irq).
For a fiq controller, the input edge signal will be convert to level and
keep the interrupt status until we do EOI operation.
That means if a rising edge input if trigger the ouput line will keep high
until we clear the interrupt status.

And I think you're right, make these kind of interrupts edge may make more sense.
So I will modify the patch as following:

 static int mst_irq_chip_set_type(struct irq_data *data, unsigned int type)
 {
-       if (type != IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW && type != IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH)
-               return -EINVAL;
-
-       if (type == IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW) {
+       if (type == IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING) {
+               mst_set_irq(data, INTC_REV_POLARITY);
+               type = IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING;
+       } else if (type == IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW) {
                mst_set_irq(data, INTC_REV_POLARITY);
                type = IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH;
        }
