although both should work fine, I do prefer simple "interrupts" version
for dts wide consistence, at least for SpacemiT

while reading Documentation/devicetree/bindings/interrupt-controller/interrupts.txt
interrupts-extended is useful when there are multi interrupt parents, or need
to specific different one..
