Because patch calculates the trigger from the actual level, there should
not be missed more interrupts than with native edge-both support.

some drivers (e.g. gpio-keys, otg gpio-vbus, gpio-charger) are requesting
gpio based interrupts with IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING | IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING
flags.  It is not possible to use such drivers without having EDGE_BOTH
support.
