The names are not needed, but I like self-documenting code/bindings.

Also the examples in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/resource-names.txt
look similar to this case.

What do you have against the -names properties?

The same statement goes for the following -names comments, so I will
skip them ;)

Yes, this gpio is used as interrupt in the driver, but its also read
directly. I already considered making it an irq in the DT data
(since its mainly used as irq), but I could not find out how to read
the current status of an irq line.

You can see it in one of the next patches, which adds the needed
nodes in omap3-n900.dts. The used GPIO on N900 is 151 (gpio5 23)
and I use the following pinmux configuration:

0x152 (PIN_INPUT | WAKEUP_EN | MUX_MODE4)

P.S.: I intend to get this into 3.15. Before I will send an updated
      series, which uses the omap clock DT bindings as requested by
      DT binding maintainers.
