Yes, that's the case. I can mention it in commit msg more explicitly.
Anyway till now, Exynos platform always used IRQ_TYPE_NONE. Also vendor
kernel uses it. However this did not affect the platform. I didn't dig
too much into it but it seemts that __irq_set_trigger wasn't called
before for these interrupts.

I wanted to fix here only the error itself. Using GIC_SPI instead of 0
is not related so I replaced it in separate patches [1]. Keeping such
change separate makes testing easy - dtx_diff.

Krzysztof
