OK, I will keep it in my tree for the moment, since you are using it.

The reason I checked is that in general, I would like to be conservative
about what is pushed upstream, because it will need maintaining for a long
time.

The other reason is that in fact Atmel recommend IRQF_TRIGGER_LOW for these
chips, not IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING, so there is a bit of an inconsistency here.
