So how would I describe the interrupts then? Or if you are saying I 
shouldn't have these interrupts in DT at all, how would I get them and 
register handlers for them in the driver? the PMIC arbiter takes 4 
interrupt cells, 3 of which are these offsets specifying the peripheral 
and interrupt. All other PMIC peripherals currently described in DT 
(examples being qcom,pm8916-wcd-analog-codec, qcom,pm8941-pwrkey and 
qcom-wled) have their interrupts (if any) described this way, with the 
only exceptions perhaps being the GPIO and MPP controllers which are 
themselves interrupt controllers. Changing the way PMIC peripheral 
interrupts are described would require changing PMIC arbiter bindings 
and code which I believe is out of the scope of this patch series.
