Thanks for the ping, I had missed you were waiting on input from me.
Sorry for that...

As there are three different groups of parent interrupts, adding
interrupt-names makes sense.  However, as this binding is already
in active use since v6.1, you probably need to keep on supporting the
ack of interrupt-names.  Or do you think there are no real users yet,
and we can drop support for that?

Do you mean you will need a fourth parent type for that?
