Yes, please do post how these are wired as well for completeness.

But there is already support for these interrupts in the driver. You
work for Qualcomm who built the thing so surely you can figure how they
intended these to be used?

You need to provide this information so that we can determine what the
binding should look like. The implementation would also be simplified if
we don't have to add random hacks to it just because we don't know why
the vendor driver you refer does not use it currently on this particular
platform.

No, you clearly did not understand [1] at all. And stop trying to game
the upstreaming process. Bindings and driver patches go together. The
devicetree changes can be sent separately in case of USB but only
*after* the first set has been merged.

If the code had been in good shape from the start it would have been
merged by now. Just learn from your mistakes and next time things will
be smoother.
