property")

I think what Rob is suggesting more closely matches what ACPI supports: where
interrupt resources are individually marked as wake capable. The binding
documentation should be updated though.

Something like:
```
If the device is marked as a wakeup-source, interrupt wake capability depends
on the device specific "interrupt-names" property. If no interrupts are labeled
as wake capable, then it is up to the device to determine which interrupts can
wake the system.

However if a device has a dedicated interrupt as the wakeup source, then it
needs to specify/identify it using a device specific interrupt name. In such
cases only that interrupt can be used as a wakeup interrupt.

While various legacy interrupt names exist, new devices should use "wakeup" as
the canonical interrupt name.
```

Parts of the kernel (I2C, bluetooth, MMC) assume "wakeup" as the
interrupt-name. I added some wording to clarify the assumption.

Thoughts?
