Is it possible only one of these is wired up?

It might be worth using interrupt-names.

Why is this necessary? Can't we just always reset it?

As a general note, s/_/-/ in property names please.

That said, I don't follow why we should have these at all. I don't
understand what the description is intended to mean.

In general we want to avoid Linux-specific properties. If a DTB needs to
know about the inernals of an OS it's likely to be fragile and broken
over time.

If this is intended to be two interrupts, please bracket them
individually, e.g.

	interrupts = <23>, <4>;

Same address?

This wasn't documented above.

Thanks,
