Why does it need to be a GPIO IRQ?  As far as I can see any irq will do
(note there are devices that provide suitable interrupts without the ability
to read the level).  Oops, we have a couple of other IIO bindings stating
exactly this.  I doubt they need to be GPIOs either.

Why not have this as the actual value rather than a magic number?  Might
as well keep the device tree as human readable as possible.
