+/*
+ * Internally the SoC uses active low signals for the IRQs. This means what when
+ * the eSPI controller comes out of reset, it's driving its IRQ lines high.
+ * In order to avoid any spurious interrupts the IO-APIC must be configured to
+ * trigger on active low signals. The PIC is only capable of triggering on
+ * active high signals so the hardware has an inverter that converts the signals
+ * before they feed into the PIC.

+ * | Active High
+ *
+ * The eSPI controller has an inverter that is applied to incoming Virtual Wire
+ * IRQ messages. This allows eSPI peripherals to use active high signaling.
+ * If the peripheral uses active low signaling like the SoC does internally, the
+ * inverter can be disabled.
+ *
+ * The polarity register has the following behavior:
+ * 0: Invert the incoming VW IRQ before outputting to the AND gates.
+ * 1: Do not invert the incoming VW IRQ, but route it directly to the AND
+ * gates.
