Ok, maybe should replace "pin" with "GPIO" in my previous comment.

So, a clarification. In one of the PL061 blocks (named gpio0 in the dts) there
is a separate interrupt per GPIO (I assume the motivation here is to enable to
control irq affinity per GPIO), where as the other block has a more standard
configuration with a single interrupt for all 8 GPIOs in that block.
