I removed the IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING, tweaked the DT as per the DT patch, and
it worked on the samsung klte.

I don't understand how the DT irq flag ends up being used by the kernel. It
is never explicitly read from DT or passed to interrupt API, only i2c->irq,
which is a pure int.

Fixing the DT and the drivers will hopefully set a precedent, so future
drivers (when copied/tweaked from existing drivers) will do it right.
