I fail to see what the hack is. The order of interrupt properties must
be defined by the binding. interrupt-names is auxiliary data and must
not be required by an OS.

Is that true for all foo-names properties, or only for interrupt-names?
I was under the impression that foo-names was specifically invented so
that the order of the entries didn't matter, and instead they could be
requested by name.

I think it depends on the specific name the property is tied too. For
interrupt and reg properties which have a long history and convention,
the order should be defined. IIRC, this was Grant's position too. For
new bindings, perhaps we can be more lenient.

OK, that makes sense for interrupts/reg. Can we decide that clock-namess
are new-style and that order is not significant? I guess gpio-names too?

I guess this should be documented in whatever binding describes the core
interrupts/reg-names/gpio-names/clock-names/dma-names properties.

It certainly would be useful to have it documented somewhere. Not sure if
resource-names.txt would be a good place to have more information about the
order for each property.
