in their interrupt handlers, and complaints from drivers before they realize what's happened. Moreover, in the case of the 'Ready/IRQ' signal, this is requested and freed by the card driver itself; the PCMCIA core has no idea whether the interrupt is requested, and, therefore, whether a call to disable_irq() would be valid. (We tried this around 2.4.17 / 2.5.1 kernel era, and ended up throwing it out because of this problem.) Therefore, it was decided back in around 2002 to disable the edge triggering instead, resulting in all state transitions on the GPIO being ignored. That's what we actually need the hardware to do. The commit above changes this behaviour; it explicitly prevents the 'no trigger' state being selected. The reason that request_irq() does not accept the 'no trigger' state is for compatibility with existing drivers which do not provide their desired triggering configuration. The set_irq_type() function is 'new' and not used by non-trigger aware drivers. Therefore, revert this change, and restore previously working platforms back to their former state.
