For interrupts connect to mbigen , the interrupt trigger type, device id and
event id value are encoded in mbigen chip already.

There are two types of mbigen node within a mbigen chip.
Type1: event id valud can't be programmed.
Type2: event id value can be programmed.

For example: An device with 5 interrupts connected to Mbigen node
type 1.The default event id vlaue encoded in mbigen chip for these 5 interrupt
is from 0 to 4.

Because the event id value can't be programmed, we need to define all of
5 interrupts in dts file so that these 5 interrupt has
