Trigger level is the first setup I tried (and retried during
modifications) but it cannot
works despite of ONESHOT flag. I'm wrong or it's probably due to
nested_irq because
it works when I reset interrupt (by reading data) during one of the
IRQ thread, that what
I did in my V1 patch. I spent a lot of time to try to use level
trigger but this is the
best way I found to do it properly without corner cases.
The result with nested IRQ and low level trigger is a spamming IRQ
(probably due to IRQ no more masked during nested IRQ thread) who that stuck the
board because it hasn't time to make an I2C read to reset interrupt pin.

That can works indefinitely, I tested for some retry in a row by
moving the chip fastly.
If the method blocked at 2 readings, I should have been stuck during this test.
If read status return "New data available", a new read value is done
through the same
process (that mean data->sampling put to true) thanks to nested IRQ
thread which will
call try_reenable again and then re-check pat9125 status.
