Fixing these for v4.

Not sure what you mean with "specify any parent interrupt" here.  For
the GIC and AIC the three cells encode the interrupt type, interrupt
number, and trigger level/polarity.  And for MSIs the interrupt type
and trigger level/polarity are pretty much implied.  It is genericish
in the sense that it follows the pattern of the "mbi-ranges" in the
arm,gic-v3.yaml binding.

Hmm, "msi-ranges" was what Marc Zyngier came up with since he didn't
really like the approach you sketch above.  And he gave this version
of the binding his blessing.  Your approach would work fine as well,
although doing a string-based lookup for each MSI vector is a bit
ugly.
