Found:
pwm3 combined with ir uses a irq. Keep that as it is for now.

Will wait with adding "interrupts" to pwm-rockchip.yaml till someone
makes a solution for the whole block. Convert only current
document/binding to reduce notifications.

For Heiko: patch 3 + 5 can go in the garbage bin:
[PATCH v2 3/6] ARM: dts: rockchip: remove interrupts properties from pwm
nodes rv1108.dtsi
[PATCH v2 5/6] arm64: dts: rockchip: remove interrupts properties from
pwm nodes rk3328.dtsi
