'interrupt' and 'interrupt-names' are required properties in DT binding doc
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/usb/ti,tps6598x.yaml

You will need to add a new property to indicate that polling mode must be used
and then interrupt properties become optional.

I think he meant whether you are using device tree or something else.
