What is the meaning of the cells? IRQ number + flags, I assume?
How are the numbers mapped, do you need a DT bindings header?
Perhaps it would make sense to increase to 3 cells, so you can use
one cell for the type (cfr. e.g. GIC_SPI), and the second for the
plain index within the type?

The rest LGTM, but I'm not an interrupt expert, so I'm curious in
hearing Marc's opinion.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
