Ok, but we really need to keep in mind that the DT should be kept as
stable as possible. We may be out of tree at the moment, but we are
trying our best to keep track and feed back our work. This is not
helped if we have to do these changes when re-basing.

In my view this change does not help the readability, as we now have
a large block of interrupts, where before we could easily work out
which interrupt was mapped to which SSI.
