Hi Geert,

Thanks for your feedback.

I did consider them but compared to say ravb each rtsn interrupt have a 
rather lose description and no easy to define name. So I reasoned it was 
better to only name the ones we use as we can give them sane names and 
then as the driver grows with features we can extend the binding.

As each interrupt have a name this would not cause any backward 
compatibility issues right?

This is a good point, I have sent a patch to address this by adding a 
default value.
