+Subject: [PATCH] Revert "genirq: Use irqd_get_trigger_type to compare the
+ trigger type for shared IRQs"
+
+This reverts commit 9d0273bb1c4b645817eccfe5c5975ea29add3300 which is
+commit 382bd4de61827dbaaf5fb4fb7b1f4be4a86505e7 upstream.
+
+It causes too many problems with the stable tree, and would require too
+many other things to be backported, so just revert it.
