So as I mentioned, the driver is not forced to use the interrupt
supplied by the SPI core, and the worst thing is that the core
configures the main IRQ as wakeirq and driver would need to call
dev_pm_clear_wake_irq() before switching to correct one. I expect there
will be just a few drivers needing that and many more would benefit from
the default behavior and not needing to repeat the same boilerplate
code.

As far as scheme goes - I hope that Rob could confirm that we can
override number of interrupts and names in consumers of the binding, as
needed.
