I don't think you have enough information in the dts. We do the same
thing on the warp (you can look at the warp.dts):

fpga@2,0 {
	compatible = "pika,fpga";
	reg = <0x00000002 0x00000000 0x00001000>;
	interrupts = <0x18 0x8>;
	interrupt-parent = <&UIC0>;
};

You need the compatible, maybe "kfaf,fpga", and I believe the reg entry
although you could try without it.

You then can use:

	of_find_compatible_node
	irq_of_parse_and_map
	request_irq

platforms/44x/warp.c shows an example using the ad7414. Just change the
ad7414 string to your compatible string.
