The interrupts property matches the size of the #interrupt-cells
property in the interrupt controller node.  For the 5200-intc, each
interrupt is described by 3 cells; l1, l2 and sense which is a
reflection of the interrupt controller architecture.  For IRQ0, l1=0,
l2=0; IRQ1, l1=1, l2=1; IRQ2, l1=1 and l2=2; IRQ3, l1=1, l2=3 Sense is
described in mpc52xx-device-tree-bindings.txt
