First: please don't top-post on the mailing list.

Second: have you even built the version you sent? Because I'm getting this:

drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c: In function âlineevent_createâ:
drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:963:4: error: âIRQ_TRIGGER_RISINGâ undeclared
(first use in this function)
    IRQ_TRIGGER_RISING : IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING;
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And third: after fixing the define, this indeed looks like a bug and
I'll need to add a test for that to libgpiod once it's upstream.
Strange we didn't catch it before.

Please send a fixed version and add a Cc tag for stable. Nice catch!
