As mentioned on the DT binding patch, I really don't think this should
be in the DT. It corresponds only to Linux internal details, not a piece
of hardware. If we need this internally, I don't see why it can't be
instanciated as required.

If we _must_ have this in the DT, I have concerns with the binding
w.r.t. the "irqs" property being a 32-bit bitmask (as opposed to say
being something like "num-irqs" which could be far larger, and is
easuier to read).

Thanks,
Mark.
