As I described in former mail, it is not related to interrupts-extended property.

Let's take a look, e.g.

1) arch/arm/boot/dts/imx7d.dtsi
interrupts = <GIC_SPI 102 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
		<GIC_SPI 100 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
		<GIC_SPI 101 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
		<GIC_SPI 103 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
interrupt-names = "int0", "int1", "int2", "pps";

For these 4 interrupts are originating from GIC interrupt controller, "int0" for queue 0 and other interrupt signals, containing wakeup;
"int1" for queue 1; "int2" for queue 2.

2) arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/imx8mq.dtsi
interrupts = <GIC_SPI 118 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
	<GIC_SPI 119 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
	<GIC_SPI 120 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>,
	<GIC_SPI 121 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
interrupt-names = "int0", "int1", "int2", "pps";

For these 4 interrupts are also originating from GIC interrupt controller, "int0" for queue 0; "int1" for queue 1; "int2" for queue 2 and other
interrupt signals, containing wakeup.

If we want to use WoL feature, we need invoke enable_irq_wake() to let this specific interrupt line be a wakeup source. For FEC driver now,
it treats "int0" as wakeup interrupt by default. Obviously it's not fine for i.MX8M serials, since SoC mix wakeup interrupt signal into "int2",
so I add this "fsl,wakeup-irq" custom property to indicate which interrupt line contains wakeup signal.

Not sure if I have explained it clearly enough, from my point of view, I think interrupts-extended property can't fix this issue, right?

If there is any common properties can be used for it, please let me know. Or any other better solutions also be appreciated. Thanks.
