Hmm, what is the general pattern to follow if a mfd device has some
functionality which depends on some optional external components?
The might be a power button connected to it or not. I find it ugly

As 'interrupts' is a matrix, this needs to be:

interrupts:
  items:
    - items:
        - const: 8
