can you simply put them together in one line? it's kind of tedious to split..

Sure I can do that. I've seen it both ways.

right, it's merely a coding style I want to enforce, to make it slightly consistent

+ resets = <&syscon_apbc RESET_SSP3>;
+ interrupts-extended = <&plic 55>;
why use interrupts-extended?

Because it specifies both the controller and interrupt number
explicitly. Why *not* use interrupts-extended?

It's just unnecessary, the SPI node will fall back to find parent node's interrupt
which already specific as &plic, brings no benefits

The benefit it brings is that I don't have to search backward to
see what the interrupt controller is. I realize it's redundant
but I do prefer interrupts-extended over just interrupts.
