Explain why the interrupts are required. That is unusual.

Note the driver can be stricter than the binding, so it may make sense
to require them in the driver, but leave it flexible in the binding.
If someone has a board without them wired, then they can look at adding
polling or timing logic to avoid the need for the interrupt lines or
at reducing functionality of the driver.
