Correct. I will change.

I wasn't sure about it.
But from davinci GPIO driver perspective, GPIO pins are
configured as edge sensitive. So IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_BOTH can be used.

So I will correct Documentation and update DT nodes in next version.

Driver code reads "Starting IRQ number for GPIO" from platform resource
See [PATCH 03/11] gpio: davinci: Modify to platform driver.
Driver requires only starting offset of gpio irq number. GPIO interrupt
Number expected in sequential order for davinci GPIO.
