While testing I experience a deadlock while using the at86rf233 on a raspberry pi. The reason was an edge triggered gpio irq because the irq triggered while irq was disabled. This issue doesn't happend on a level triggered irq because the irq will hit after calling enable_irq. This patch adds a warning that it's not recommended to use a edge-triggered irq type. Also change the examples to high-level irqtype.
