But you could.

The parent node can have a default interrupt-parent and child nodes
can override that. It doesn't matter which one is the default though
typically you would want the one used the most to be the default.
Looking at your dts files, it looks like you all did the opposite. The
only way that wouldn't work is if the parent node is if the parent
node has its own 'interrupts' or you are just abusing
'interrupt-parent' where the standard parsing doesn't work.

You are also free to use 'interrupts-extended' anywhere 'interrupts'
is used and then interrupt-parent being present is an error. How you
structure all this is outside the scope of binding schemas which only
need to define how many interrupts and what are they. Ensuring parents
and cell sizes are correct is mostly done by dtc.
