I see. No, actually I don't. xics is pseries where I don't see the .dts.
So you are saying that we have one irq_domain but 2+ different
interrupt-parents nodes?

How do you distinguish then between two different controllers lets say
xics and a gpio based controller? This implementation calls ->dt_translate
until one controller returns 0 which looks like brute force.

xics_host_xlate() returns always zero so you would have to go for
the compatible and check it.
Every device has an interrupt-parent node. Shouldn't the code call exact
this irq controller xlate function instead of trying them all?
