well, I want my driver to react directly at the transition from lo to hi
(aka rising edge) of the INT signal.

why?
1. by default the latch register is disabled, thus the master (my driver) is not
expected to ack or clear any interrupt flag. the sensor controls when the INT line
deasserts. for instance during a tap interrupt the bottom half handles the rising
edge condition after 250-300us and the irq gets deasserted by the sensor 150-300ms
later without any other interaction from the driver.

which means that the time interval the trigger is asserted for can not be
controlled by the master (without tweaking the latch register).

2. there is no scenario in which an irq trigger that has been asserted before probe()
needs to be handled.

3. there is zero reason to handle one event multiple times.

these would be my reasons for gravitating toward edge triggering.

best regards,
peter
