we have it this way also in omap3. I do not understand what is the
problem with it. Do you have a pointer where it is forbidden?
At least
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/interrupt-controller/interrupts.txt
says nothing againt using it in such cases.

What is the advantage of using that more complex solution? I would then
prefer to have the same with omap3 and omap4. If we do anything about
interrupts in board file here, they will have multiple parents.
