Alright, so I will make the interrupt optional in the DT binding.
By simply removing it from this list:

required:
   - compatible
   - reg
   - clocks
   - interrupts

Is it possible to make it required later on for certain SoC by adding
something along the lines of:

allOf:
   - if:
       properties:
         compatible:
           contains:
             enum:
               - soc_compatible...
               ...
     then:
       properties:
         interrupts: true
