I go through the ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM and SPARSE_IRQ related codes, but I 
find I also have to define the NUC900_NR_IRQS firstly like below, so 
that I can init the .nr_irq.

+#if !defined(CONFIG_SOC_NUC970)
  #define NUC900_NR_IRQS		(IRQ_ADC+1)
+#else
+#define NUC900_NR_IRQS		62
+#endif

  DT_MACHINE_START(nuc900_dt, "Nuvoton NUC900 (Device Tree Support)")
         .dt_compat      = nuc900_dt_compat,
+       .nr_irqs        = NUC900_NR_IRQS,
  MACHINE_END

and then in my irqchip driver, I will use the NUC900_NR_IRQS:

+aic_domain = irq_domain_add_linear(node, NUC900_NR_IRQS,
+				    &aic_irq_domain_ops, NULL);


Is that a right usage?
