A lot of other primecells have the one-combined and individual interrupts.
So far, in the last 10 years, no one's used the individual interrupts in
Linux (or even afaik wired them up.)  Not with either the original ARM
primecells or the vendor modified ones.

That tells us something about the individual interrupts.
