I misunderstood Rob's comment. Now I'm not sure whether dt-binding
can support regex or something or not, or let ask for advice in the
following way: how could I write the dt-binding in this case? I didn't
find similar examples so far. I'm not sure listing possible
description and const properties for all channel interrupts is suitable.

I tried 12rx and 12tx interrupts in a node, didn't see dtc warning.
so I guess the complaints are from dtb check? I will try to reproduce
them.
