ohh okay, got it. However, may I know if adding a dt property to
indicate polling for aiding the driver, is the correct approach to model it?

In terms of modelling hardware, as interrupts are not connected we are
not populating the interrupts property. Shouldn't that be all. If we are
adding a property explicitly to indicate polling that can be used by
driver, wouldn't that be a software aid being added in the device tree?

Thanks,
Aswath
