I changed all the name from soc-interrupt to soc-int except here.
I will fix it.

Yes but according to the code I saw there were other registers related to the RTC
from 0x184A0. Even if we don't use them now I prefer having an accurate mapping from
the beginning for avoiding using negative offset as we needed to do in the past.
