Hi Marc,

I'm fine with the rest of the comments, please find just one last

That's interesting. How is the resampling done here?  

I'm not sure to understand the question. What does 'resampling' means
in such context? MSI SEIs are of type "edge" and use the traditional
MSI signalling infrastructure. I'm asking to be sure not to ignore
something wrong in my code.  

You seems to be turning a level interrupt into an edge.

If is an SEI interrupt, it cannot be a level interrupt and the type
will be IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING.

You can do that,
but only if you resample the level on EOI (and regenerate the
corresponding edge if the level is still high).

What is before is a '& IRQ_TYPE_SENSE_MASK' operation. In theory,
*type could be anything of IRQ_TYPE_{EDGE,LEVEL}_* at this moment. But,
as stated above, it cannot be anything else than IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING.
I thought more clear to enforce it but if this unclear and useless,
let's drop it?

Or am I reading it the wrong way?

No, that's probably me not understanding correctly the purpose of the
above function.

Thanks,
Miqu?l
