Add a new definition for specifying how many XHCI secondary interrupters
can be allocated.  XHCI in general can potentially support up to 1024
interrupters, which some uses may want to limit depending on how many
users utilize the interrupters.

Sorry I must have missed that patchset when rebasing over Mathias' xHCI 
changes.  It was there previously in my initial submission where the 
property is carried over into xhci-plat from dwc3/host.c.

So the xHC controller has a HCSPARAMs field that defines the number of 
interrupters it can support.  It does potentially have the capability of 
having 1024 interrupters.  Each interrupter has to have its own set of 
interrupt register sets, which depending on the vendor implementing it 
could limit the maximum.  For example, as stated below, DWC3 only allows 
for 8 interrupters to be allocated.

The purpose for this property is to allow the user/driver to not have to 
allocate memory for supporting 1024 event rings, if they are only going 
to utilize one.  Likewise, if the user attempts to allocate more than 
what is supported by the HW, then Mathias' SW will cross check to ensure 
that isn't allowed. (by checking the HCSPARAMs against the DT property 
below)

Got it.
