Device tree represents the hardware - not to reflect how the driver
works. if the driver is wrong, fix it. the interrupt polarity needs to
be described in DT. based on palmas like designs, you should probably
use IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING because that is the default signaling inside
the SoC as it reaches Secondary interrupt handlers(SIH) registers.
