Subject: drivers: platform: parse IRQ flags from resources

From: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>

commit 7085a7401ba54e92bbb5aa24d6f428071e18e509 upstream.

This fixes a regression from the net subsystem:
After commit d52fdbb735c36a209f36a628d40ca9185b349ba7
"smc91x: retrieve IRQ and trigger flags in a modern way"
a regression would appear on some legacy platforms such
as the ARM PXA Zylonite that specify IRQ resources like
this:

static struct resource r = {
       .start  = X,
       .end    = X,
       .flags  = IORESOURCE_IRQ | IORESOURCE_IRQ_HIGHEDGE,
};

The previous code would retrieve the resource and parse
the high edge setting in the SMC91x driver, a use pattern
that means every driver specifying an IRQ flag from a
static resource need to parse resource flags and apply
them at runtime.

As we switched the code to use IRQ descriptors to retrieve
the the trigger type like this:

  irqd_get_trigger_type(irq_get_irq_data(...));

the code would work for new platforms using e.g. device
tree as the backing irq descriptor would have its flags
properly set, whereas this kind of oldstyle static
resources at no point assign the trigger flags to the
corresponding IRQ descriptor.

To make the behaviour identical on modern device tree
and legacy static platform data platforms, modify
platform_get_irq() to assign the trigger flags to the
irq descriptor when a client looks up an IRQ from static
resources.
