That is indeed a very good question and I don't have a definite answer.

I just looked at
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/interrupt-controller/interrupts.txt and it
doesn't mention that use-case (same device using two different interrupts from
two different interrupt-controller).

So I went and look at the source in drivers/of/irq.c and noticed that the
"interrupts" property and its "interrupt-parent" is parsed by the
of_irq_map_one() function.

/**
 * of_irq_map_one - Resolve an interrupt for a device
 * @device: the device whose interrupt is to be resolved
 * @index: index of the interrupt to resolve
 * @out_irq: structure of_irq filled by this function
 *
 * This function resolves an interrupt, walking the tree, for a given
 * device-tree node. It's the high level pendant to of_irq_map_raw().
 */
int of_irq_map_one(struct device_node *device, int index, struct of_irq *out_irq)
{
        struct device_node *p;
        ...
        /* Get the interrupts property */
        intspec = of_get_property(device, "interrupts", &intlen);
        ...
        /* Look for the interrupt parent. */
        p = of_irq_find_parent(device);
        ...
}

/**
 * of_irq_find_parent - Given a device node, find its interrupt parent node
 * @child: pointer to device node
 *
 * Returns a pointer to the interrupt parent node, or NULL if the interrupt
 * parent could not be determined.
 */
struct device_node *of_irq_find_parent(struct device_node *child)
{
	struct device_node *p;
	const __be32 *parp;

	if (!of_node_get(child))
		return NULL;

	do {
		parp = of_get_property(child, "interrupt-parent", NULL);
		if (parp == NULL)
			p = of_get_parent(child);
		else {
			if (of_irq_workarounds & OF_IMAP_NO_PHANDLE)
				p = of_node_get(of_irq_dflt_pic);
			else
				p = of_find_node_by_phandle(be32_to_cpup(parp));
		}
		of_node_put(child);
		child = p;
	} while (p && of_get_property(p, "#interrupt-cells", NULL) == NULL);

	return p;
}

So, if I understood the code correctly the DT IRQ core doesn't expect a device
node to have more than one "interrupt-parent" property.

It *should* work though if you have multiple "interrupts" properties defined and
all of them have the same "interrupt-parent":

       interrupt-parent = <&gpio6>;
       interrupts = <1 IRQF_TRIGGER_HIGH>; /* GPIO6_1 */
       interrupts = <2 IRQF_TRIGGER_LOW>; /* GPIO6_2 */

since of_irq_map_one() will be called for each "interrupts" and the correct
"interrupt-parent" will get obtained by of_irq_find_parent().

No worries, I'm very new to DT too so let's wait for Grant, Stephen or Linus to
give us a definite answer :)
