As each entry is a single phandle:

       items:
         maxItems: 1

       items:
         items:
           - description: child APLIC domain phandle
           - description: ...
           - description: ...

First and last are inclusive?

Couldn't riscv,children and riscv,delegate be combined? How would they 
be different? If some children don't have any delegated interrupts, you 
could use -1 for the cells for example.

An example showing the need would be nice.

Is than an x86 APIC or a typo?
