After more thinking, if we use 'interrupts' to indicate the irq type
for this case, we cannot specify the irq number due to the irq number
should be get by gpiod_to_irq(). So the device nodes look weird, since
we should define the index of the interrupt controller instead of the
irq type if the #interrupt_cells is set to 1 according to the
interrupt controller documentation. What do you think about this?
Thanks.
