Hmm, I am not sure I understood your last comment. Can you point out the
specific usage?

All our K3 dts files have the interrupt-parent = <&gic500> defined at the
root-node, which is the default ARM GIC.

Let us know if we need to fix something in our dts files.

All our K3 gic500 nodes does have an 'interrupts' property.

Yes, this is understood. The OMAP Mailbox binding is reused between multiple SoC
families, some of which do not use an Interrupt Router in between.

So, whats the best way to enforce this in the specific schema? I have used the
common 'interrupts' property that applies to all SoCs, and enforced the
conditional 'interrupt-parent' only on relevant compatibles.
