Making #interconnect-cells a required property does introduce an ABI
change in the device tree bindings. However, this change is necessary
to ensure proper functionality and integration with the interconnect
framework, which increasingly relies on this property for accurate
configuration and resource management.

Yes, this is a fixup change. Since the current NSS clock controller DTS 
node for IPQ9574 already includes '#interconnect-cells', I will separate 
this modification into a standalone fixup patch.
