The second option. I understand this is a bit complicated because your
node is both an interrupt controller and an MSI client.

You need a platform device to represent the MSI client and use this
to get the MSI setup to be done automatically by the core code.
of_platform_populate() should normally solve this neatly. On top of
that, you need to use the normal irqchip infrastructure to probe the
irqchip side of the node.

You need to have multiple phases for initializing this beast:
- IRQCHIP_DECLARE() to create the irqchips, allocate the domains and
  the main data structures,
- platform device probing of the top-level device to do some HW probing
  and to kick of_platform_populate on the subnodes,
- Handle the the subnode probing, allocate the MSIs, and finish the
  initialization of the irqchip how that you have all the information.
