To improve human readability and enable automatic validation, the tuples
in "snps,block-size" and "snps,priority" properties should be grouped
using angle brackets.
For these, the tools should allow either way. Where are you seeing an
error?
Good to know. I'm not seeing any errors.
I tried to rationalize which way should be 'correct' and gave up. I
think bracketing only makes sense for matrix and phandle+arg cases.
That makes sense.  And "interrupts" is special, because it's really a
short-hand for "interrupts-extended", with the phandle specified by
"interrupt-parent" at the same or a higher level.

Hence I'll drop this patch.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
