I am not sure how this is related... Just because they do not use same
regmap/interface does not mean that child device should have register
bits as interrupt sources. Do you model I2C PMICs devices the same way?
No. They get the interrupts from the parent and how the parent handles
them (same or different regmap) is separate problem.

The charger node does not make SPMI bus as interrupt parent, so these
interrupts are going to the SPMI PMIC don't they? or is it mistake in
DTS - lack of interrupt-parent?

The charger node defines all interrupts with SID=2, which is also not
really correct. The parent device is SID=2. The child - does not matter.
DT is a tree for some reason...
