Ah, you are catching my lack of ACPI knowledge.

Rephrasing the question:

"What happens when you have an ACPI device that contains an interrupt in
  _CRS and contains a different interrupt in an embedded FDT block?"

Does the situation occur today, ie does it ever happen that one interrupt
for a device is specified (if that is the correct term) in _CRS and
another by some other means ?
