This assumes the default is always low, so we don't need a property to
set it to that state?

Would it make more sense to have the property describe if it's high or
low? (I'm happy for the answer to be "no", as we've gotten by for the
past few years without it).

This brings up another point. We already have the sysfs file for
setting the lpc address, from userspace. In OpenBMC land this can be
set with obmc-console-client (/etc/obmc-console.conf). Should we add
support to that application for setting the irq polarity too, and do
away with device tree descriptions?
