A lot of this depends on the chip and its wiring, as well as on chip
configuration. Even for a specific chip there may be configuration
dependencies. The interrupt configuration in situations like this
should really be determined by devicetree configuration, and not
be hardcoded. Is this a devicetree based system ? If so, there should
be an entry for this chip pointing to the interrupt, and that entry
should include a trigger mask. That mask should be set to edge
triggered.

A sleep in an interrupt handler to "prevent" an interrupt storm
is never acceptable.
