Driver reads both now (again).  It wasn't the cleanest transition in this series.
I dropped the second irq in patch 5 and brought it back in patch 12.

Whilst we could in theory support only one interrupt, that would make the driver
annoyingly fiddly for something I suspect no one would actually do.
We'd need to support events only on one of the two channels to make it work.

So I vote we take lazy option of saying it's either no interrupts, or both of
them for the two channel devices.  Nothing stops us relaxing that in future
and then using get_by_name.  If we do that and also require names are in order
INT1 INT2, INT1, INT2 but not INT2 INT1 and hence optional except in the case
of only one interrupt provided.

1) New DT, old driver - no interrupts but then there weren't any previously anyway.
2) New Driver old DT - fine, either both are specified or neither.

So there is a clean migration path if we ever find anyone who has wired up only
one of the interrupt lines and really does only want events on one or two channels
but still wants readings on both of them.
