ABI defined at binding doc.
  interrupt-names:
    oneOf:
      - items:
          - const: int0
      - items:
          - const: int0
          - const: pps
      - items:
          - const: int0
          - const: int1
          - const: int2
      - items:
          - const: int0
          - const: int1
          - const: int2
          - const: pps

DTB should align binding doc. There are not 'descriptions' at 'interrupt',
which should match 'interrupt-names'. So IMX8MP dts have not match ABI,
which defined by binding doc. So it is DTS implement wrong.
