Following this discussion for v2 with Marc
http://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg104385.html I decided to
move away from using the "interrupts" property since these interrupts
are not actually the pinctrl's interrupts (they are owned by the
devices using them). I guess that using "interrupts" would be a bit
misleading.
