Obviously irq is redundant, but how does etr0 solves the problem of
calling it foo0?

I don't think you really read Rob's comment.

There is no confusion here. Writing bindings luckily clarifies this what
the indices in the array mean.

How is this even relevant? You are answering to something completely
different, so I don't think you really tried to understand review.
