+Named Interrupts
+================
+
+Drivers with ACPI node can have names to interrupts in ACPI table which
+can be used to get the irq number in the driver.
+
+The interrupt name can be listed in _DSD as 'interrupt-names'. The names
+should be listed as an array of strings which will map to the Interrupt
+property in ACPI table corresponding to its index.
+
+The table below shows an example of its usage::
+
+	Device (DEV0) {
+		...
+		Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate() {
+			...
+			Interrupt (ResourceConsumer, Level, ActiveHigh, Exclusive) {
+				0x20,
+				0x24
+			}
+		})
+
+		Name (_DSD, Package () {
+			ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+			Package () {
+				Package () {"interrupt-names",
+					Package (2) {"default", "alert"}},
+			}
+			...
+		})
+	}
+
+The interrupt name 'default' will correspond to 0x20 in Interrupt property
+and 'alert' to 0x24.
+
+The driver can call the function - device_irq_get_byname with the device
+and interrupt name as arguments to get the corresponding irq number.
