I suggested an alternative patch for the ep93xx last time round which
keeps the information that the pin is configured as an interrupt and
tidies the code a bit (moves the newline to the first seq_printf). My
patch is available here:
http://lists-archives.org/linux-kernel/27439434-arm-ep93xx-kill-another-instance-of-broken-irq_desc-fiddling.html

Could we merge that instead please.

Thanks,
