Right. So in my opinion that should be handled by the interrupt subsystem. 
Hence I dived into irq_of_parse_and_map(). I would suggest to open code that:

/* make sure there are interrupts defined in the node */
- if (!of_property_present(np, "interrupts"))
+ if (of_irq_parse_one(...))
 return;

irq = irq_create_of_mapping(...);

I expected the "nicer" argument would be thrown in at some point. Esthetics 
are never a technical argument, but let's not debate that ;-) Hopefully you 
can agree with my suggestion.
