ok if we mark the interrupt as required for SM8450 and not specify the
interrupt in the board file (since the bootloader will be adding it on
the fly), dtbs_check will throw 'interrupts' is a required property for
the board file. This was the failure I was talking about.

Not really, the driver treats interrupts as optional. If the interrupt
isn't present we assume that the feature isn't supported. If the
bootloader adds the property during boot then we assume the fw has
waitqueue support.
