With the calls to octeon_irq_set_ciu_mapping() ...

We probe for the type of interrupt controller by reading the SOC 
identifier number, although we can get the same information from the dts.

Once we know the type of interrupt controller, the level vs. edge is 
known a priori, and that knowlege is encoded in all these 
octeon_irq_set_ciu_mapping() calls.

And on top of this...

So it is kind of a moot point.

It is not some sort of generic interrupt controller that can be 
configured in different ways, each line has certain properties endowed 
upon it by the chip designers, and once a line is assigned a particular 
configuration, it is never changed in future generations.

For external devices attached to the GPIO interrupt lines, things are 
different, we can only know the triggering via the dts, and lo and 
behold... it is there and we use it.
