I will have a look at that although I have a vague memory that
this made the pinctrl very sad doing this. Presumably a bug
somewhere but might take me a while to figure that out. The
interrupt controller is a bit of a grey area as well since it
has a bunch of IRQs that don't relate to the pins as well as
some that do. So logically it might be better suited on the root
node.
