Right. Now I see what you mean. Original code did:

	if (!(irq_data->type_rising_mask | irq_data->type_falling_mask))
		return 0;

Eg, even when the driver was not able to perform the type-setting this
failure was silently ignored, right. So doing:
       if ((t->types_supported & type) != type)
               return 0;
would be functionally equal. It feels like utterly wrong thing to do
(to me) - if driver is written to work with edge or level active
interrupts - and if the irq controller is not supporting this - then we
should warn the user. Just silently ignoring this sounds like asking for
irq storm or missed interrupts - but maybe I just don't get this =)

I'll send a patch with 
	if (!(irq_data->type_rising_mask | irq_data->type_falling_mask))
		return 0;
in order to not break existing functionality - but it feels plain wrong
to me.
