Again, explain why you are breaking compatibility. Will an old dtb using 
"intr" still work with this change? It should normally. There are some 
exceptions, but you need to say what they are.

"Could" is not strong enough. Every valid combination of interrupts 
should correspond to a specific compatible string. A given version of 
h/w either has these interrupts or not.
