But what about the bit in of that first irq in the cause register? If

I am not sure I can follow. orion_bridge_irq_init() maps the first
parent irq, i.e. hwirq 0 of orion_irq. The parent irq controller
clears that irq cause when all corresponding chained irqs are
cleared. The chained (bridge) irqs are cleared by
orion_bridge_irq_handler above.

That makes sense. I got confused by:

irq = irq_of_parse_and_map(np, 0);

but now I see that it's mapping irq 0 of the parent interrupt
controller. I'll add a comment before merging it.

Great! Just to be sure: Please make that comment refer to just
"parent interrupt" but not specifically "parent interrupt 0".
It is 0 only for Dove, and irq_of_parse_and_map(np, 0) maps the
first passed irq.
