Well, that's not really clear to me. But likely the interrupt level register
turns the interrupt source functionality of the GPIOs on and off, as you
say. As a little exerpt of what I've gone through the last days:

| GPIO Interrupt Level. When the value of a GPIO pin matches the value of
| the corresponding bit in this field, the corresponding bit is set in the
| GPIOISTAT field is set.

It's maybe because of my english, but I can only guess what is meant
here.

I'm at least sure that set_irq_type() is wrong. The lack of a set_type()
function should make them expand to no ops. IIRC the idea for this
change came by looking at the callers of prepare_cf_irq() in the
standalone driver, combined with a lot of trial and error. :)

Greetings, Phil
