No, but I just want to keep the format same as arm,gic, and let the
driver bypass 1st and 3rd cell to the parent GIC.
The mst-intc driver translate the interrupt number in 2nd cell to the
interrupt on the parent GIC.

<start end>.
I will add this in the description.

We use 64 interrupts per interrupt controller.
As you mentions, if we use the standard property 'interrupts',
then we need to put 64 interrupt property in the interrupt
controller node, and it will be hard to understand.
So I suppose we need an vendor specific property here.

0 is the interrupt number of the parent interrupt controller.
There's no SPI and PPI stuff in mst-intc, it will bypass the
1st cell to parent controller.

e.g. The device node as following will point to GIC SPI 31
("value in 2nd cell" + "start in irqs-map-range").
	usb: {
		interrupt-parent = <&mtk_intc0>;
		interrupts = <0x0 31 0x4>;
		...
	};
