Yes. What interrupts is the DW controller providing? Only the PCI
legacy interrupts which are optional. An msi-controller and an
interrupt-controller are 2 distinct providers. An MSI provider is not
an interrupt provider, but an interrupt consumer. Some bindings define
both, but I think many of those cases are probably wrong.
