Perhaps strings would be welcome. I'll let binding maintainers say what
they think of it.

How in practice do you access the strap value? Don't you need a phandle
over a specific area in the SoC?

Why do you remove this? Removing "interrupts" from the required
properties is fine, but constraining the interrupts property when it is
relevant is still expected.

This should be done in a separate patch.
