I got the bug-report from Geert and sent this patch yesterday:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181227084443.GA23991@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Looking at these two options, I wonder if we shuld return -ENOTSUPP if we do support type setting, but for example only for edge, not level active IRQs - and if LEVEL_LOW or LEVEL_HIGH is requested? Well, I have no strong opinion and both of these should fix the regressions - sorry for the hassle!

I still wonder whether we should do as I suggested and only set the irq_set_type callback for chips which have non zero type_registers? I suggested that here:

No problem. Thanks for adding me now =)
