Pasting the quoted text here for reference.

"The "interrupts-extended" property is a special form; useful when a node needs
to reference multiple interrupt parents or a different interrupt parent than
the inherited one."

I understood both were false so said that it is not applicable here.

I was suggesting from the point to avoid churn in SoC dtsi file.
But I see your point now.

I don't have any objections.
