IRQ_TYPE_NONE is not correct here -> it should have some polarity - if
it had none, there'd be no interrupt, right?
Well, it just translates IRQ_TYPE_NONE through

Linux/include/dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/irq.h

to

interrupts = <8 0>;

which is given as an example in

Documentation//devicetree/bindings/rtc/rtc-palmas.txt

Since I don't know anything about the rtc driver beyond the bindings
documentation I assume it is correct...
I have added Laxman Dewangan because he introduced this interrupts =
<8 0>;
As this is for palmas interrupt controller, it does not use the second
field for interrupt from RTC.
So there is no really any polarity. It can be set to 0.

The second argument will be used for GPIOs mainly. However, support need
to be added on GPIO driver for rising/falling configuration.

Device tree represents the hardware - not to reflect how the driver
works. if the driver is wrong, fix it. the interrupt polarity needs to
be described in DT. based on palmas like designs, you should probably
use IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING because that is the default signaling inside
the SoC as it reaches Secondary interrupt handlers(SIH) registers.
If the trigger type is not programmable, then not setting the trigger
type in the DT is fine. Internal connections are often not documented.
Weird, that is not what I got feedback when I send
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/381125/

If this is the new norm, I retract my objection.
