Document the DT binding for GPIO IRQ support on Amlogic Meson SoC's.

This documentation is intentionally not placed under
interrupt-controllers as GPIO IRQ support on these SoC's acts more
like an interrupt multiplexer.

Seems more like an irqchip?

Why syscon?

What about interrupt-controller property?

It is an irq_chip. Would you therefore prefer a different name or another location
for this binding documentation?

This HW is somewhat special, it's more or less a multiplexer between
100+ GPIO's and 8 GIC IRQ's. And we have two GPIO domains, both having
a "gpio-controller".
It doesn't seem that the "interrupt-controller" property is right here.
I'd tend to say it should be added to the "gpio-controller" nodes.

This relates to previous comment, as it isn't really an interrupt
controller I'm not sure we should use this name.

I would say an interrupt controller is anything that controls
routing/delivery of interrupts from source to cpu. This certainly
meets that criteria.

You could even use interrupt-map property to statically assign the
sources to parent interrupts.

+Amlogic meson GPIO interrupt controller
+
+Meson SoCs contains an interrupt controller which is able watch the SoC pads
+and generate an interrupt on edges or level. The controller is essentially a
+256 pads to 8 GIC interrupt multiplexer, with a filter block to select edge

+
+gpio_irq@9880 {
