 Required properties:

-  83xx, "fsl,mpc8572-gpio" for 85xx and "fsl,mpc8610-gpio" for 86xx.
-- #gpio-cells : Should be two. The first cell is the pin number and the
-  second cell is used to specify optional parameters (currently unused).
- - interrupts : Interrupt mapping for GPIO IRQ.
- - interrupt-parent : Phandle for the interrupt controller that

-To use GPIO pins as interrupt sources for peripherals, specify the
-GPIO controller as the interrupt parent and define GPIO number +
-trigger mode using the interrupts property, which is defined like
-this:
-
-interrupts = <number trigger>, where:
- - number: GPIO pin (0..31)
- - trigger: trigger mode:
-        2 = trigger on falling edge
-        3 = trigger on both edges
-
-Example of device using this is:
