It is perfectly valid for the meaning of the field to be defined by the interrupt controller, and gpio interrupts could do something different. We've tried to standardize this though. > These seem to have been mixed up in a few places, take for example: > arch/arm/boot/dts/tegra124-jetson-tk1.dts.

This seems fine. It is no less wrong.
