Yes it does!

With 'should' I meant to describe the expected behavior from using this
since most people are probably not familiar with how this works.

Aah, I thought I checked for that already. Will fix.

I'm honestly not 100% sure. As far as I understand it, with
'qcom,usb-audio-intr-idx = /bits/ 16 <2>;' in the qcom,q6usb node (which
I've checked against downstream) we declare which "XHCI interrupter
number to use". Without the num-hc-interrupters property we get an error
that not enough interrupters are available (I assume only 1 is then), so
this value practically needs to be higher than the <2> from earlier.

Why it's this value and not a higher value e.g. 4 I'm not really sure.
Downstream code looks somewhat different and "max_interrupters" in
drivers/usb/ doesn't come from a dt property. I'd need to check more in
details what this code does - or maybe Wesley can help.
