I added some level IRQ type-configuration support to regmap_irq back
when I wrote the BD70528 support. You should be able to just fill the
bit-mask indicating IRQ types supported by your GPIO controller
hardware, and then the corresponding type register values. As far as I
remember the supported types and values are given "per IRQ". If my
memory serves me right there was a limitation that the regmap-IRQ does
not distinguish setup where GPIO controller supports rising and falling
edges - but not both. That would have required adding another type
flag.

The BD70528 has not been used too much and is scheduled for removal. It
may have received only limited testing but it *should* be functional
though.
