Thx

Just looked a bit around. There are some which use handle_simple_irq but
also run their handler in threaded/one-shot handler. I guess in that
case it is fine to use the simple_irq handler.

However, those GPIO drivers look suspicious:

gpio-altera.c: Uses handle_simple_irq, supports edge and level
gpio-bcm-kona.c: Uses handle_simple_irq, supports only edge
gpio-grgpio.c: Uses handle_simple_irq, supports edge and level
gpio-intel-mid.c: Uses handle_simple_irq, supports only edge
gpio-lynxpoint.c: Uses handle_simple_irq, supports edge and level
gpio-ml-ioh.c: Uses handle_simple_irq, supports edge and level
gpio-pl061.c: Uses handle_simple_irq, supports edge and level
gpio-rcar.c: Uses handle_level_irq, supports edge and level
gpio-timberdale.c: Uses handle_simple_irq, supports edge and level
