Correct.

My idea was an explicit property about the function of the INTB/CLKOUT 
pin. The current code does use #clock-cells as a proxy for this (and 
Alexandre has some concerns with how this is handled).

Right now the only interrupt that the RTC cares about is for ALARM1 
(which moves between INTA and INTB depending on the clock config). There 
are other hardware events and an ALARM2 that can generate an interrupt 
but these are ignored. I don't think the rtc framework supports more 
than one alarm.

Binding wise I think this should take 1 or 2 interrupts. For simplicity 
the first interrupt should always correspond to ALARM1 (which could be 
INTB or INTA depending on the hardware design). The 2nd interrupt (if 
supplied) would be for the other events (which we don't currently do 
anything with).
