Change the documentation to reflect the new bindings used for Marvell ICU. This involves describing each interrupt group as a subnode of the ICU node. Each of them having their own compatible.Need to explain why you need to do this and why breaking backwards compatibility is okay.
It does not break backward compatibility. The driver changes keep support for the previous DT binding where there was a single node with no subnodes. The DT binding documentation still documents the legacy binding, because it is still supported, and still works.
