MT8183's MDP3 RDMA interrupt property was omitted in the devicetree that we
have upstream because it was either unused in the driver, or MTK didn't want
to actually use it for reasons, but that SoC *definitely does* have a mdp_rdma0
IRQ and a mdp_rdma1 IRQ.

That's the same for MT8186 and MT8188... and it's probably the same for all
MediaTek SoCs, so interrupts shouldn't be disallowed in this binding.

It's the same thing as "split"... All of the display and mdp/mdp3 components of
MediaTek SoC do support GCE mailboxes by HW, so it's not limited to "split", but
literally all of them.

Disallowing mboxes and/or mediatek,gce-events on *any* of those is actually wrong.
