I can't find the suitable property in standard ones that match the custom
properties here.
And the vendor prefixed rule is described in [1].

The interrupt controller is first used in Mstar TV SoCs.
Now it's used in MTK TV and Sigmastar SoCs.
So I think Mstar prefixed would make more sense.
I will rename the driver into mstar-intc, and MTK will maintain this driver.
