I pondered that idea too, but have gone with the solution presented in
this patch series as it's more explicit and - with far more weight to it
- does not require the driver to touch DT properties that are outside of
its domain of responsibility. The "interrupts-extended" properties are
not meant to be parsed by the driver, but rather the IRQ subsystem.
