Since v1:

Rob: I haven't added your Acked-by here as I've made the following changes and
wanted to get your input:

* Remove interrupt-controller as an optional property
* Defer to interrupt-controller bindings document for sub-node properties

I had a discussion with Joel about whether the interrupt-controller capability
should be optional and the conclusion was that it should always be configured
by the driver. This makes an optional interrupt-controller property feel
redundant (and possibly inaccurate if left out) so I've removed it.
I don't follow. What do you mean byt "configured by the driver". If the 
block supports interrupts, then it should be marked as an 
interrupt-controller. It never should have been optional. The OS can 
ignore the interrupt properties if it chooses.
