genirq: record trigger type
Genirq hasn't previously recorded the trigger type used by any given IRQ,
although some irq_chip support has done so. That data can be useful when
troubleshooting. This patch records it in the relevant irq_desc.status
bits, and improves consistency between the two driver-visible calls
affected:
- Make set_irq_type() usage match request_irq() usage:
* IRQ_TYPE_NONE should be a NOP; succeed, so irq_chip methods
won't have to handle that case any more (many do it wrong).
* IRQ_TYPE_PROBE is ignored; any buggy out-of-tree callers
might need to switch over to the real IRQ probing code.
* emit the same diagnostics (from shared utility code)
- Their kerneldoc now reflects usage:
* request_irq() flags include IRQF_TRIGGER_* to specify
active edge(s)/level ... docs previously omitted that
* set_irq_type() is declared in <linux/irq.h> so callers
should use the (bit-equivalent) IRQ_TYPE_* symbols there
Also: adds a warning about shared IRQs that don't end up using the
requested trigger mode; and fix an unrelated "sparse" warning.
