+The "interrupts-extended" property is a special form; useful when a node needs
+to reference multiple interrupt parents or a different interrupt parent than
+the inherited one. Each entry in this property contains both the parent phandle
+and the interrupt specifier.
Example:
interrupts-extended = <&intc1 5 1>, <&intc2 1 0>;
