Bindings should reflect hardware, not current Linux support. If the
binding is incomplete, explain it in the commit msg. Commit msg claims
"device can now", so it is not about the driver. This is just confusing.

Initial bindings made a mistake of being strictly tied to what driver
supports. Aren't you repeating the mistake?

The commit mentions "gpio mode" but it is not explained - neither in
commit msg nor in the code. What is the "gpio mode" of the device?

This makes sense, I assume device cannot be an interrupt controller if
it is unable to pass the interrupt to the SoC.

BTW, do not add multiple blank lines before dependencies: block.

This can be part of earlier dependencies.
