 -------------------------
 
-Nodes that describe devices which generate interrupts must contain an either an
-"interrupts" property or an "interrupts-extended" property. These properties

+Nodes that describe devices which generate interrupts must contain an
+"interrupts" property, an "interrupts-extended" property, or both. If both are
+present, the latter should take precedence; the former may be provided simply
+for compatibility with software that does not recognize the latter. These
+properties contain a list of interrupt specifiers, one per output interrupt. The
+format of the interrupt specifier is determined by the interrupt controller to
+which the interrupts are routed; see section 2 below for details.
 
   Example:
         interrupt-parent = <&intc1>;
