dtbs_check on next-20220825 (with dt-schema v22.08 FWIW):
mpfs-polarberry.dtb: cache-controller@2010000: interrupts: [[1], [3], [4], [2]] is too long
mpfs-icicle-kit.dtb: cache-controller@2010000: interrupts: [[1], [3], [4], [2]] is too long

I should have caught this before applying, but I got distracted
by the unusable system.

s/cache sets/interrupts
Because the correct value for the fu540 is 3 & this is regulated by
the binding. The alternative would be relaxing the binding to not
regulate the number of interrupts.

I *could* but I opted not to because the fu540 supports a compatible
subset of the features & keeping the compatible for it allows systems
with a newer dts to work with an older kernel.

Is there a better way to write it given the above caveat?

Thanks,
