We really want to have explicit functions for two and three cells.

Yes, that works but the code is completely non-obvious. So what you
really want is something like this:

int irq_domain_translate_cells(struct irq_domain *d, unsigned long *hwirq,
			       unsigned int *type)
{
        unsigned int cells = fwspec->param_count;

        switch (cells) {
       	case 1:
                *hwirq = fwspec->param[0];
                *type = IRQ_TYPE_NONE;
                return 0;
       	case 2..3:
	        /*
        	 * For multi cell translations the hardware interrupt number and type
	         * are in the last two cells.
	         */
		*hwirq = fwspec->param[cells - 2];
        	*type = fwspec->param[cells - 1] & IRQ_TYPE_SENSE_MASK;
                return 0;
        default:
   		return -EINVAL;
        }
}

Then have inline helpers:

static inline int irq_domain_translate_XXXcell(struct irq_domain *d, unsigned long *hwirq,
					       unsigned int *type)
{
        return irq_domain_translate_cells(d, hwirq, type);
}

That avoids changing all call sites at once and merges the one cell
translation into it.

You get the idea....
