Looks like an abuse of interrupt-map. You avoid adding yourself to the
abuser list by putting it in a child node. Clever. (See list in
drivers/of/irq.c if you don't know what I'm talking about)

I assume the EXTI has 0..N interrupts. Just define 'interrupts' with N
entries with each entry mapping EXTI interrupt N to 'interrupts' entry
N.
