Please point me at some documentation for that. AFAICT, that would
require the property to consist of n*(3+2)*4 values, instead of just n
(with 3+2 being sum of #interrupt-cells and 4 being the four different
allowed incoming IRQ_TYPE_*). That seems quite excessive.

I used a private property based on advice from Marc

Most interrupt controllers use a private property, potentially with a
range (see the recent example of the Qualcomm PDC [1]).

[1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10208037/

and the qcom,pdc-ranges has this description (and that patch has your
Reviewed-by):

+- qcom,pdc-ranges:
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <u32 array>
+ Definition: Specifies the PDC pin offset and the number of PDC
ports.
+ The tuples indicates the valid mapping of valid PDC
ports
+ and their hwirq mapping.
+ The first element of the tuple is the starting PDC port.
+ The second element is the GIC hwirq number for the
PDC port.
+ The third element is the number of interrupts in
sequence.

In my case, this is simplified by the external irq lines being numbered
consecutively from 0, so the array index itself serves as the "starting
pdc port". I also omit the "number of interrupts in sequence", and have
that be 1 implicitly, since it will only ever be either 6 or 12
elements. So I end up with a simple array of GIC hwirq numbers.

Well, the parent consists solely of 32 bit registers, so I think it
would make sense to have #size-cells = 0, to avoid redundant boilerplate
in subnodes' reg properties. But you're right, the ls1021a scfg node
currently has neither #size-cells or #address-cells, so I'll have to add
a patch adding those before adding this subnode. And if #size-cells=0 is
somehow frowned upon, I'll just make it 1.
