Please format your changelogs proper into sections:

1) Context

2) Problem

3) Solution

Writing one big lump of a sentence is just unreadable.

Aside of that:

1) No indentation of the changelog
2) Sentences start with upper case letters
3) Function references want () after the function name

That SOB is bogus.

This is completely broken. That stores a trigger type for any interrupt if
the set type function fails.

You fail to explain

    - WHY irq_set_irq_type() fails for these per cpu interrupts
    
    - WHY storing the type in irqdata solves anything

    - WHAT sets the type in the actual interrupt hardware

That information should be in the changelog ....
