[PATCH v2 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.

Changes since v1:
 - corrected typo reported by Stephen Warren,
 - edited last example to use separate properties to represent possible
   alternatives, as suggested by Stephen Warren.

+  For MCT block that uses a per-processor interrupt for local timers, such
+  as ones compatible with "samsung,exynos4412-mct", only one local timer
+  interrupt might be specified, meaning that all local timers use the same
+  per processor interrupt.
