I'll fix this. The MAXIM capitalization came from other drivers.

This is a standard interrupt binding. The max14577 MFD core driver
ignores the interrupt flags and always uses IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING. I can
fix this with new patch for drivers/mfd/max14577.c but still I don't see
what should be added in documentation.
