It's not for me, especially considering small register region used here.

Srsly, with that claim, some I2C device like PMIC also has a separate
interrupt controller, because interrupts are in separate few registers
(e.g. status, mask and ack).

Can any of the children interrupts be routed differently?

Post entire, complete DTS for review.
