Please convert the bindings to DT schema first.

Why this is board-dependant? Falling edge is happening anyway, so it is
in the hardware all the time. DT describes the hardware, not Linux
driver behavior.

What's more, your property name sounds a lot like a driver property, so
even if this is suitable for DT, you would need to name it properly to
match hardware feature/characteristic.
