DT describes hardware, not software policy (or limitations of the driver).
Arguably that applies to both interrupts and GPIOs, but the latter is
more complex to describe, while the former is a simple "interrupts"
property. It's not uncommon for board components to have their
interrupt line wired to an SoC, even if the driver doesn't use it.
