Thanks for your/forwarding this patch!

renesas,use-alternative-interrupt?
(unless you can convince Rob this becomes a generic property).

In light of "DT describes the hardware", I think you should instead list
both interrupts in DT.  I.e. first/single interrupt is the normal one,
second optional interrupt is the alternative one.

On R-Car Gen2, the oldest SoC family with this feature I could find,
they are called "ext_int" resp. "ext_alt_int", so introducing the
optional "clock-names" property would be a good idea, too.
