It would be better to use MT7988 with RSS and add the additional
interrupts for doing so before introducing support for this SoC without
RSS. In this way we would avoid having to deal with keeping the DT
support compatible with the old (ie. 4 IRQs) way while also supporting the
RSS-way (with a total of 8 IRQs).
Alternatively, if we really want to support MT7988 with and without RSS we
should use 'interrupt-names' instead of unnamed interrupts imho.
