But you also added 

+        - properties:
+            interrupts:
+              minItems: 8
+            interrupt-names:
+              minItems: 8
+              items:
+                - const: msi0
+                - const: msi1
+                - const: msi2
+                - const: msi3
+                - const: msi4
+                - const: msi5
+                - const: msi6
+                - const: msi7

which means that I can no longer describe the four interrupts in DT.

I didn't check the implementation, but it seems you should derive the
number of MSIs based on the devicetree as I guess you did in v7.
