I think I chose IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING is because when I do a search in
the upstream
code where platform is configured, the irq is always set to be
IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING
so I was assuming  IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING is a safe bet.

But you would definitely know better than me on this since the atmel
chips that I have
access to are quite limited.
