Would be better, yes. If we finally decide to add an irq_flags field to
the i2c core structures, we'll update the isp1301 driver accordingly.

I agree that it would be great if the isp1301 driver was arch-neutral.
But I fail to see how this is related to adding an irq_flags field to
struct i2c_board_info and struct i2c_client or not.
