The original file you mention is a dt-bindings file, not a doc file. As
you see it is in the bindings subdirectory. All (or almost all) files in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings are bindings.

It should be stripped out of C code and converted to DT schema (and
moved to interrupt-controllers), not to ReST.
