The QUICC Engine provides interrupts for a few I/O ports. This is
handled via a separate interrupt ID and managed via a triplet of
dedicated registers hosted by the SoC.

Implement an interrupt driver for it so that those IRQs can then
be linked to the related GPIOs.

Already? On a v1?

This is extracted from a previous series, here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/67987bbf42344398709949cb53e3e8415260ec09.1758212309.git.christophe.leroy@xxxxxxxxxx/

Should I have called it v7 even if it is only a small part of the initial series ?

Ack is here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250818-babbling-studio-81a974afc169@spud/

This doesn't look like a separate block, but just part of its parent. So
just add interrupt-controller/#interrupt-cells to the parent.

I don't understand what you mean, can you explain with the extract below ?

Extract from device tree including the parent:

soc8321@b0000000 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
device_type = "soc";
compatible = "simple-bus";
ranges = <0x0 0xb0000000 0x00100000>;
reg = <0xb0000000 0x00000200>;
bus-frequency = <0>;

ipic:pic@700 {
interrupt-controller;
#address-cells = <0>;
#interrupt-cells = <2>;
reg = <0x700 0x100>;
device_type = "ipic";
};

qepic:interrupt-controller@c00 {
compatible = "fsl,mpc8323-qe-ports-ic";
reg = <0xc00 0x18>;
interrupt-controller;
#address-cells = <0>;
#interrupt-cells = <1>;
interrupts = <74 0x8>;
interrupt-parent = <&ipic>;
};
};
