Hm... yes. You are right.

The IRQ line is a level shifter connected to one of channels muxed to the core
ADC. If we switch internal muxer to different channel, the IRQ line will
change the state.

So, we need a trigger which:
- do not triggers if we do ADC readings.
- keeps triggering as long as we have some state changes on the IRQ line
- trigger only with specific rate
- still triggers for some amount of time after last interrupt event was
detected. Current implementation is doing only one extra read.

I reworked it a bit, will send new patch soon.

no, we should disable IRQ if we do readings anyway.

Yes, you are right. I'll rework it.
