genirq: Document interaction between <linux/irq.h> and DT binding defines
Document that the DT binding definitions in <dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/irq.h> shadow the first six IRQ_TYPE_* definitions in <linux/irq.h>. The values must be the same anyway, so this is harmless (as long as the latter is included first when both are included), but it is good to document this explicitly.
