By the way, how do you define two GPIOs/IRQs from different
gpio-banks/irq-controllers wuth that scheme?


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

Would that be like below?

  ethernet@5,0 {
           compatible = "smsc,lan9221", "smsc,lan9115";
           interrupt-parent = <&gpio6>;
           interrupts = <16 8>;
           interrupt-parent = <&gpio7>;
           interrupts = <1 IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING>; /* GPIO7_1 */
  };


...

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().

I assumed that answer. So to make such a scenario possible, something
like this might be neccessary:

          interrupts = <&gpio6 1 IRQF_TRIGGER_HIGH>; /* GPIO6_1 */
          interrupts = <&gpio7 2 IRQF_TRIGGER_LOW>; /* GPIO7_2 */

or, to be compatible

          interrupts = <1 IRQF_TRIGGER_HIGH &gpio6>; /* GPIO6_1 */
          interrupts = <1 IRQF_TRIGGER_LOW &gpio7>; /* GPIO7_1 */

Another problem is the naming. In all the above cases, the driver would
not know which IRQ he should use for what. Maybe the order defines it,
but that wouldn't be very verbose. And I think just changing the name
would make travelling the tree impossible, as only the driver itself
would know the name and it's meaning.

On a second look, travelling the tree is still possible if the solution would be like above (without that interrupt-parent). So if a driver requires two interrupts he could use

      interrupt-foo = <1 IRQF_TRIGGER_HIGH &gpio6>; /* GPIO6_1 */
      interrupt-bar = <1 IRQF_TRIGGER_LOW &gpio7>; /* GPIO7_1 */

And travelling the tree will still be possible because walking from the interrupt-controllers (those gpio) downwards would end up at the interrupt definitions, so the name of them isn't needed to find them in the tree.
