Ok, I've extended the comment above the override of the irq-flags with
the following paragraph for v4 of this patch-set:

         * Note theoretically it is possible that some boards are not capable
         * of handling active low level interrupts. In that case setting the
         * flag to IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING would not be a bug (and we would need
         * to work around this) but sofar all known usages of IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING
         * are a bug in the boards DSDT.
