To be honest, all three descriptions look wrong to me. From the above it
looks like this is simply one PWM controller with four channels, so it
should really be described as such, i.e.:

pwm@20040030 {
compatible = "rockchip,rv1108-pwm";
reg = <0x20040030 0x40>;
interrupts = <GIC_SPI 39 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
};

Looking through existing Rockchip SoC DTSI files, though, it looks like
this has been done the wrong way since the beginning, so not sure if you
still want to fix it up.

This whole problem of dealing with a shared interrupt wouldn't be a
problem if this was described properly.
