The PINT on has 8 interrupts, but this is device dependent. Up to 32
could be supported.

The order is also device dependent. The interrupts on PINT are merely
mapped onto the main interrupt controller.

I tried to keep the wording in the binding generic so it could support
the PINT on different devices. I'll update the text with some more
details.
