[PATCH] gpio: Describe interrupt-controller binding

[Thierry Reding]

In order to use GPIO controllers as interrupt controllers, they need to
be marked with the DT interrupt-controller property. This commit adds
some documentation about this to the general GPIO binding document.

+If the GPIO controller supports the generation of interrupts, it should
+also contain an empty "interrupt-controller" property as well as an
+"#interrupt-cells" property. This is required in order for other nodes
+to use the GPIO controller as their interrupt parent.
 
+If #interrupt-cells is 1, the single cell is used to specify the number
+of the GPIO that is to be used as an interrupt.
+
+If #interrupt-cells is 2, the first cell is used to specify the number
+of the GPIO that is to be used as an interrupt, whereas the second cell
+is used to specify any of the following flags:
+  - bits[3:0] trigger type and level flags
+      1 = low-to-high edge triggered
+      2 = high-to-low edge triggered
+      4 = active high level-sensitive
+      8 = active low level-sensitive
+
+Example:
+
+	gpioext: gpio-controller at 41 {
+		compatible = "ad,gpio-adnp";
+		reg = <0x41>;
+
+		interrupt-parent = <&gpio>;
+		interrupts = <160 1>;
+
+		gpio-controller;
+		#gpio-cells = <2>;
+
+		interrupt-controller;
+		#interrupt-cells = <2>;
+
+		nr-gpios = <64>;
