No, the INTx interrupts are not described in the DT. It is the pcieport
driver that is attempting to setup INTx via "of_irq_parse_and_map_pci()"
which is the .map_irq callback. The sequence of execution leading to the
error is as follows:

pcie_port_probe_service()
  pci_device_probe()
    pci_assign_irq()
      hbrg->map_irq
        of_pciof_irq_parse_and_map_pci()
	  of_irq_parse_pci()
	    of_irq_parse_raw()
	      rc = -EINVAL
	      ...
	      [DEBUG] OF: of_irq_parse_raw: ipar=/bus@100000/interrupt-controller@1800000, size=3
	      if (out_irq->args_count != intsize)
	        goto fail
		  return rc

The call to of_irq_parse_raw() results in the Interrupt-Parent for the
PCIe node in the device-tree being found via of_irq_find_parent(). The
Interrupt-Parent for the PCIe node for MSI happens to be GIC_ITS:
msi-map = <0x0 &gic_its 0x0 0x10000>;
and the parent of GIC_ITS is:
gic500: interrupt-controller@1800000
which has the following:
#interrupt-cells = <3>;

The "size=3" portion of the DEBUG print above corresponds to the
#interrupt-cells property above. Now, "out_irq->args_count" is set to 1
as __assumed__ by of_irq_parse_pci() and mentioned as a comment in that
function:
	/*
	 * Ok, we don't, time to have fun. Let's start by building up an
	 * interrupt spec.  we assume #interrupt-cells is 1, which is standard
	 * for PCI. If you do different, then don't use that routine.
	 */

In of_irq_parse_pci(), since the PCIe-Port driver doesn't have a
device-tree node, the following doesn't apply:
  dn = pci_device_to_OF_node(pdev);
and we skip to the __assumption__ above and proceed as explained in the
execution sequence above.

If the device-tree nodes for the INTx interrupts were present, the
"ipar" sequence to find the interrupt parent would be skipped and we
wouldn't end up with the -22 (-EINVAL) error code.

I hope this clarifies the relation between the -22 error code and the
missing device-tree nodes for INTx.
