a9ecdc0fdc54 ("of/irq: Fix lookup to use 'interrupts-extended' property
first") updated the description to say that:
- Both 'interrupts' and 'interrupts-extended' may be present
- Software should prefer 'interrupts-extended'
- Software that doesn't comprehend 'interrupts-extended' may use
'interrupts'
But there is still a paragraph at the end that prohibits having both and
says 'interrupts' should be preferred.
Remove the contradictory text.

In case the Device Tree blob passed by the boot agent supplies both an
'interrupts-extended' and an 'interrupts' property in order to allow for
older kernels to be usable, prefer the new-style 'interrupts-extended'
property which conveys a lot more information.
This allows us to have bootloaders willingly maintaining backwards
compatibility with older kernels without entirely deprecating the
'interrupts' property.
Update the bindings documentation to describe a situation where both the
'interrupts-extended' and the 'interrupts' property are present, and
which one takes precedence over the other.

The standard interrupts property in device tree can only handle
interrupts coming from a single interrupt parent. If a device is wired
to multiple interrupt controllers, then it needs to be attached to a
node with an interrupt-map property to demux the interrupt specifiers
which is confusing. It would be a lot easier if there was a form of the
interrupts property that allows for a separate interrupt phandle for
each interrupt specifier.
This patch does exactly that by creating a new interrupts-extended
property which reuses the phandle+arguments pattern used by GPIOs and
other core bindings.

In order to use a device as interrupt controller, it needs to be marked
with the DT interrupt-controller property. This commit adds rudimentary
documentation about the required standard properties and describes the
most commonly used interrupt specifiers.
