Hello Vladimir,

Thanks for the review.

Right. I didn't consider the "type_inverted" flag in the struct
regmap_irq_chip. I thought that "mask" is actually a register value -
which could be zero for some HWs. Thanks for pointing that out. It will
really make "types_supported" useless.

So please just drop this patch for now. There seems to be no need to
touch the existing regmap-irq users after all so I can submit this patch
together with the driver which needs to support the level active IRQs.
