It looks like the C methods take an `unsigned long`. In that case, I'd
probably write the code to match that.

pub struct Flags(c_ulong);

and git rid of the cast when calling bindings::request_irq.

As for all the constants in this file, maybe it would be nice with a
private constructor that uses the same type as bindings to avoid the
casts?

impl Flags {
const fn new(value: u32) -> Flags {
...
}
}

/// Use the interrupt line as already configured.
pub const TRIGGER_NONE: Flags = Flags::new(bindings::IRQF_TRIGGER_NONE);

Not a big deal, but avoiding the cast when calling bindings::request_irq
is a good idea I think.

With that:
