Actually, all I am trying to do with this patch is document the
current state of things. The 2/8 sense type usage has been that
way for a long time, and I'll defer to the 83xx maintainers
if they see any value in changing it.
Right now there are many DTS files with level/sense set to values
like 8 and no indication anywhere where those values came from.
