The hardware has 2 interrupt pins which can be mapped to various 
interrupt sources (alarm1, alarm2, periodic, ...)

Currently the driver only supports alarm1.

It is even possible to use both pins for the same interrupt (eg if INTA 
were wired to the SoC, INTB to a PMIC and both used for alarm...)


So maybe it would be better to have

alarm1-interrupt-output-pin: The interrupt output pin used for the alarm 
function. Must be "INTA", "INTB" or "BOTH"

Then, if and when other types of interrupts are supported by the driver 
new properties could be added for them.

The standard DT property "quartz-load-femtofarads" takes the real 
physical value in femto Farads ie values should be 7000, 6000, 12500 
without defines.

Not sure about this.

Wouldn't it be better to either use a real impedence value in ohms (like 
load property above, even though it is a vendor specific value) rather 
than a define, or defines for "Low, Medium, High"?
