From a quick glance at the datasheet, it appears that the hardware
is capable of routing different interrupts to different pins, even
if the driver does not do so.

CTRL_REG5 has 6 different bits to set whether particular blocks have
their interrupt routed to INT1 or INT2, so it appears to be possible
to send some each way.
 
A binding is for the hardware not the driver, so if I'm right about this
the current text is correct and should be left alone.

Thanks,

Jonathan
