Yup, especially considering what Chanwoo mentioned about the great
idea someone came up with about putting EINT registers of one of the
controllers in different pin controller.

Still, this is exactly the same thing I thought when initially refactoring this
driver 2 years ago and what was dismissed at that time due to people
supposedly not wanting that much data in DT. If this point of view has changed,
then I fully support your view, though.
