Looks wrong to me. I don't look at irq handling, just unmask.
Consider the same scenario.
1)unmask interrupt A for "edge type" trigger
call mvebu_gpio_edge_irq_unmask and now CPU trigger interrupt A
if edge changed

2)unmask interupt B for "level type" trigger
call mvebu_gpio_level_irq_unmask,
gc->mask_cache have interrupt A,
so we unmask A and B for "level type" trigger.

So  expected result:
A edge type interrupt
B level type iterrupt

Actual result:
A edge type interrupt
A and B level type interrupt.

This may cause many funny things,
for example drivers may works or not works depending
on loading order.
