If we are registering a device has 2 interrupts like the below,
i2c@f9968000 {
lsm330_acc@1D {
compatible = "ST,lsm330_acc",
/* #interrupt-cells = <2> */
interrupts = <73 0x2 65 0x2>,
};
};

we can't use second irq(65) in a driver because of mapping first
interrupt only.
If second irq(65) is mapped, we can use by gpio_to_irq() function at a
driver.
So, I think that all interrupt specifiers should be parsed and mapped
if DT's interrupts property is allowed several interrupt specifiers.

It is better that i2c_board_info will be fixed.
But, if it will be fixed, all i2c client drivers should be changed.
I think there're so many i2c drivers currently.
In my opinion, do not assign to i2c_board_info and just map for all
interrupts is the better.

Thanks,
Bongkyu.
