Fine, I will try to write better.

is this mean we should have variable like
.supported_iflags which capture what it is supported or not.
And then irq_type_val[MAX_REGMAP_IRQ_TYPE] as array and define the 
REGMAP_IRQ_TYPE_[FALLING/RISING/BOTH] as index and client can fill this 
info as per the hardware or

Or we should have separate variable for each type like:
int irq_type_rising_val;
int irq_type_faling_val;
int ire_type_both_val;

along with
int irq_type_supported;
int irq_type_mask_val;
