You're right; I hadn't thought of it that way. Will remove the
'interrupts' property from the 'required' ist in v2.

I was under the impression that the triggered-buffer way of capturing
data would more reasonable to the consumers of a gyroscope. But what
you point out makes total sense. Thanks for pointing out. Will fix it
