This won't work. A device schema doesn't override what's defined here, 
but just further constrains this schema.

You could define a "spi irq" schema which devices can include if they 
want to, but I don't think this pattern is that common to SPI devices. 
There's not any spec behind compared to say alert irq for SMBus. 

The 'wakeup' irq name is standardized (for DT), but that's not SPI 
specific. About all we could define there is 'wakeup-source' is boolean 
and if there is more than one interrupt, one should be named 'wakeup'.
