Is this supposed to be mpc8569? I don't see any existing 
"fsl,mpc8568-qe-pario-bank" compatibles.

This breaks the ABI. If the OS relied on "fsl,mpc8360-qe-pario-bank" for 
example, you just broke it.

As the GPIO bank doesn't do any interrupt handling itself 
(mask/unmask/ack), you can just do this (using 
fsl,mpc8360-qe-pario-bank-a case):

interrupt-map-mask = <0x1f 0>;
interrupt-map = <15 0 &qepic 0>,
                <16 0 &qepic 1>,
                <29 0 &qepic 2>,
                <30 0 &qepic 3>;

And then a user of the GPIO interrupt just says "interrupts = <15 0>;".
