Hi,

Should it really be changed to a bool?
Other boolean likes in the structure are u8:1.

What I understand here is that in-band interrupts are not properly 
working on ux500, and then the feature shouldn't be enabled for this 
platform.
Am I correct?

If this is the case, the v2 will consist in changing the use_sdio_irq to 
use_sdio_irq, and update the comment of the struct.
And depending on the answer, maybe change the field to bool.
