Yes this is an old trick, I don't know if I invented it again for Linux in
commit cc890cd78acd7ab03442907d354b6af34e973cb3
in 2011, surely the trick must be well known.

Back then I did it like this:

+       val = readl(U300_PIN_REG(offset, icr));
+       /* Set mode depending on state */
+       if (u300_gpio_get(&gpio->chip, offset)) {
+               /* High now, let's trigger on falling edge next then */
+               writel(val & ~U300_PIN_BIT(offset), U300_PIN_REG(offset, icr));
+               dev_dbg(gpio->dev, "next IRQ on falling edge on pin %d\n",
+                       offset);
+       } else {
+               /* Low now, let's trigger on rising edge next then */
+               writel(val | U300_PIN_BIT(offset), U300_PIN_REG(offset, icr));
+               dev_dbg(gpio->dev, "next IRQ on rising edge on pin %d\n",
+                       offset);
+       }

Notice that I read the current level of the raw input to decide what the next
trigger should be. The Rockchip driver does not do this, maybe that works
better?
