This is a device-tree based system, in particular it's NVIDIA Tegra30
Nexus 7. The interrupt support was originally added to the lm90 driver
by Wei Ni who works at NVIDIA and did it for the Tegra boards. The Tegra
device-trees are specifying the trigger mask and apparently they all are
cargo-culted and wrong because they use IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH, while it
should be IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING.

The IRQF flag in devm_request_threaded_irq() overrides the trigger mask
specified in a device-tree. IIUC, the interrupt is used only by OF-based
devices, hence I think we could simply remove the IRQF flag from the
code and fix the device-trees. Does it sound good to you?
