[PATCH 1/8] Documentation: devicetree: Update Exynos MCT bindings description

This patch updates description of device tree bindings for Exynos MCT
(multicore timers). Namely:
 - added note about simplified specification of local timer interrupts,
   when using single per-processor interrupt for all local timers,
 - changed first example that was incorrectly suggesting that global
   timer interrupts are optional,
 - simplified example interrupt map,
 - added example showing simplified local timer interrupt specification.

-Example 1: In this example, the system uses only the first global timer
-	   interrupt generated by MCT and the remaining three global timer
-	   interrupts are unused. Two local timer interrupts have been
-	   specified.
+  For MCT block that uses a per-processor interrupt for local timers, such
+  as ones compatible with "samusng,exynos4412-mct", only one local timer
+  interrupt might be specified, meaning that all local timers use the same
+  per processor interrupt.
+
+Example 1: In this example, the IP contains two local timers, using separate
+	   interrupts, so two local timer interrupts have been specified,
+	   in addition to four global timer interrupts.
