Allow me to correct my typo: I meant spi_device (this is a spi
device/driver).

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;

         unsigned long uart_flags;

I'll check again the patch and possibly make the changes.

Thanks,

David Cohen
