[PATCH 1/2] mfd: palmas: support IRQ inversion at the board level

[lee.jones@linaro.org (Lee Jones)]

> >> From: Stephen Warren <swarren@nvidia.com>

> >> The IRQ specifier in DT is meant to represent the IRQ flags at the input

> >> The Palmas HW's IRQ output has configurable polarity. The driver

No, it was an indication that we still require more Acks. :)
