My idea is always use threaded irq and passing flags into request.
Like as:
unsigned long flags = res->flags & IORESOURCE_BITS;

request_threaded_irq(max->irq, serial_m3110_irq, IRQF_ONESHOT | flags, "max3110", max);


Oh, maybe we were talking about different things afterall :)
The reason this struct plat_max3110 was created is to allow platform
code (located under arch/x86/platform/intel-mid/device_libs/) to define
the irq edge type.
When I saw your comment I though you were referring to struct resource
(which has IORESOURCE_IRQ_* flags). But unlike platform_device,
spi_device has no struct resource * to replace the need of struct
plat_max3110.

OTOH your suggestion can replace this piece of code:

@@ -68,6 +69,7 @@ struct uart_max3110 {
         u8 clock;
         u8 parity, word_7bits;
         u16 irq;
+       u16 irq_edge_triggered;

max3110 is already edge triggered:

495                 ret = request_irq(max->irq, serial_m3110_irq,
496                                 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING, "max3110", max);

it would be nice a threaded IRQ instead of using a singlethread
workqueue, though.

making it clearer, you only converted to threaded IRQ when
edge_triggered isn't set, why don't you *always* use threaded IRQs ?

This is a very difficult question to answer, considering the
non-threaded irq is used just to wake up a wq :)
I wish this driver was better maintained.

I'll rework this whole IRQ scheme here.
