I am not sure 9 is the correct value here. IIUC it is just what Linux defines as AMBA_NR_IRQS. Looking at the history it was bumped from 2 to 9 for use by PL330 DMA driver. I couldn't find anything to relate this 9 in any AMBA or other related specification.
Ideally I would say we don't know what the max here. We just have a platform implementing 2 interrupts now. Do we for with 2 for now and change it if some new users require more in the future ?
I will leave that to the DT maintainers but 9 is simply random based on Linux code so I would rather choose some other random number with a better reasoning than 9 as AMBA code in the kernel is limiting it to 9.
