This being the case, the binding should only talk about INT1 and INT2.
The names might be "invented", but they describe the physical pins on
the device, and thus describe a physical property of the device.

The configuration of logical interrupts to those physical pins is a
choice that can be made at runtime, and should not live in the DT. It is
not a property of the hardware.
