Hello Again All,

Sorry for multiple posts but I had second look at this and...

After second check - type_inverted won't help if we have case where
both the 'all bits set' and 'all bits zeroed' are valid type specifiers.
We *could* have HW register specified as:

IRQ Trigger control reg:

bits [7:2] reserved - don't touch, undocumented magic debug stuff
bits [1:0] IRQ trigger type:
00 => Rising Edge
01 => Falling Edge
10 => Level Low
11 => Level High.

For such setup we would have:

type_rising_mask = 0x0,
type_falling_mask = 0x1,
type_level_low_mask = 0x2,
type_level_high_mask = 0x3,

- and I see no way of tellng the type_rising_mask is valid.

I admit this is actually not pretty. We don't really give *mask* here
but we give the actual configuration value - and actually, for example
transitioning from falling to low would make HW to wrongly go to
type_level_high - if the values here were really regarded as *masks*.

But when we look at the implementation, we are treating these masks as
actual values - so code does the correct thing and zeroes the whole
'type area':

d->type_buf[reg] &= ~(irq_data->type_falling_mask |
irq_data->type_rising_mask |
irq_data->type_level_low_mask |
irq_data->type_level_high_mask);

before applying the desired mask (value):

switch (type) {
case IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING:
d->type_buf[reg] |= irq_data->type_falling_mask;
break;
...

So I would still go by adding the types_supported field to advertice
also those types which are set using value '0'. I would additionally
consider renaming the type_*_mask to type_*_val. What's your take on
this?

So, it seems we still need to patch the gpio-max77620.c, right? So I
guess I could try submitting the next version prior the rest of the
driver.
