+Named Interrupts
+================
+
+Drivers enumerated via ACPI can have names to interrupts in the ACPI table
+which can be used to get the IRQ number in the driver.
+
+The interrupt name can be listed in _DSD as 'interrupt-names'. The names
+should be listed as an array of strings which will map to the Interrupt()
+resource in the ACPI table corresponding to its index.
+
+The table below shows an example of its usage::
+
+ Device (DEV0) {
+ ...
+ Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate() {
+ ...
+ Interrupt (ResourceConsumer, Level, ActiveHigh, Exclusive) {
+ 0x20,
+ 0x24
+ }
+ })
+
+ Name (_DSD, Package () {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package () {
+ Package () {"interrupt-names",
+ Package (2) {"default", "alert"}},
+ }
+ ...
+ })
+ }
+
+The interrupt name 'default' will correspond to 0x20 in Interrupt()
+resource and 'alert' to 0x24. Note that only the Interrupt() resource
+is mapped and not GpioInt() or similar.
+
+The driver can call the function - fwnode_irq_get_byname() with the fwnode
+and interrupt name as arguments to get the corresponding IRQ number.
