If this has interrupt-cells, then it is a nexus, thus why isn't this
also a "interrupt-controller"?

I don't get why you rewrite existing example instead of adding new one.

Drop node, irrelevant.

And now you are not following DTS coding style.

So two new examples? But old one was wrong?

Wait, three examples? But isn't this the same as previous one?
