[1/2] dt-bindings: mailbox : arm,mhuv2: Allow for more RX interrupts

The ARM MHUv2 Receiver block can indeed support more interrupts, up to the
maximum number of available channels, but anyway no more than the maximum
number of supported interrupt for an AMBA device.

Hi,

By the spec really you can have up to 124 rx interrupt (one per channel) and
optionally 124 tx interrupt too. At least one RX is mandatory, while the TX
clear channel iterrupt is optional (and not supported at all for spec < 2.1)

In both cases you could just have one single combined interrupt, though,
and this is what the driver did, and still do (I have noot changed this), on
the TX side: it just supports one single combined tx interrupt.

So on the TX side, at the HW level, there could be really 124 interrupts
BUT the driver still only support a single combined one.

So I think my statement above is anyway ambiguos and I'll fix it, but how to
fix it, really depends if we want to describe fully what the HW potentially
supports OR what the driver really can cope with as of now.

Thanks,
Cristian
