I can't find the suitable property in standard ones that match the custom properties here. And the vendor prefixed rule is described in [1]. The interrupt controller is first used in Mstar TV SoCs. Now it's used in MTK TV and Sigmastar SoCs. So I think Mstar prefixed would make more sense. I will rename the driver into mstar-intc, and MTK will maintain this driver.
