Does your device still work if you switch to level-triggered interrupt?

Regarding your patch I am uncomfortable with disabling interrupts if
interrupt is edge-triggered, as replaying edge interrupts after enabling
is not very reliable. So we should either only disable interrupt if it
is level-triggered, or make sure we read and process data from the
device after re-enabling interrupt to rearm it. We'll need to make sure
suspend does not race with interrupt handler than and also make sure we
handle case when device does not actually has data to report.

Thanks.
