Sorry about this, my plan was to submit all documents along with
moxart platform support. At the time I did not know it is more normal
to push the binding along with the driver.

The reason is, IRQ types must be written to the controller as two u32
registers (IRQ_MODE_REG and IRQ_LEVEL_REG). I could not find an easier
way (that uses generic things) to do it.

It's true that "interrupt-mask" is redundant, DT "interrupts" hold the
same information. I just never found nice way to collect it from DT.

See registers written on line 111:
