This again begs the question, is it time we start moving parts of the
dts code to be autogenerated?

Should we keep a separate file for each SID?

Or should we consider the SPMI 'interrupts' implementation flawed and
work towards one that does not require a SID to be specified within?

Currently it's:

interrupts = <USID PERIPH_ADDR>>8 IRQ_WITHIN_PERIPH IRQ_TYPE>;

So the first two cells are effectively useless and can be retrieved
from the parent node and the reg property.

Getting rid of that would solve a decent chunk of problems that this
patchset concerns.
