According to specification sheets MCP(s0)17 [1] page 19, MCP(s0)18 [2] 
page 19, MCP(s0)08 [3] page 11 - all supported expanders have that 
register also that register needs to be used [4] to mask/unmask 
interrupts on given GPIO, without it - expander won't even fire an 
interrupt. I tested on MCP23018 I2C expander though but module itself is 
not treating that expander differently for interrupt handling purposes.

Do you want that information to be added as part of commit message or 
information in the mailing thread will be enough?
