Right. The commit message is way too modest =) Leong?

Ok. But please note that "Wake" and "LPI" IRQs are optional. It's
possible to have a device with the "MAC" and "DMA" IRQs and no
individual "Wake"/"LPI" IRQ lines. Thus the only mandatory IRQ is
"MAC" which order (being always first), I agree, should be preserved.

If you are talking about the changes like introduced here (essentially
it's Patch 4):
https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg888079.html
I can resurrect it (rebase on the latest kernel, fix the notes, run
dt-validation, etc) and submit for review on the next week or so.
Then the Leong' patch in subject either won't be necessary or will
concern the shared schema only. Does it sound acceptable?
