If the IRQ is already in use, then acpi_dev_gpio_irq_get_by() really should not change the type underneath the current owner. I specifically hit an issue with this an a Chuwi Hi8 Super (CWI509) Bay Trail tablet, when the Boot OS selection in the BIOS is set to Android. In this case _STA for a MAX17047 ACPI I2C device wrongly returns 0xf and the _CRS resources for this device include a GpioInt pointing to a GPIO already in use by an _AEI handler, with a different type then specified in the _CRS for the MAX17047 device. Leading to the acpi_dev_gpio_irq_get() call done by the i2c-core-acpi.c code changing the type breaking the _AEI handler. Now this clearly is a bug in the DSDT of this tablet (in Android mode), but in general calling irq_set_irq_type() on an IRQ which already is in use seems like a bad idea.
