Coming back to this series, I don't really get the point of introducing the
interrupt in the bindings and the device-tree sources if the interrupt is not
required for normal operation. I would just drop it.

I recall I was in the same situation for the MIPI CSI-2 controllers, which also
have a dedicated interrupt but only useful for debugging/error reporting.
I was asked not to introduce it back then, so I suppose the same should apply.

What do you think?

Cheers,

Paul
