Do we really want to do that ? I am not sure. A cpus node is supposed to
be a container node, we should not define this binding just because we
know the kernel creates a platform device for it then.

interrupts is a cpu node property and I think it should be kept as such.

I know it will be duplicated and I know you can't rely on a platform
device for probing (since if I am not mistaken, removing a compatible
string from cpus prevents its platform device creation), but that's an issue
related to how the kernel works, you should not define DT bindings to solve
that IMHO.
