We want to depreciate support for this property. It should have never
been added to the bindings; in it's current form it describes a
relationship that afaict doesn't exist ("This unrelated register over
here dictates the polarity of your virtual serial port IRQ"). See
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200812112400.2406734-1-joel@xxxxxxxxx/

The intent is to remove it from both the bindings and the code.
There's already no users of it in any device tree.

How would you like Zev to go about doing this?

Cheers,

Joel
