In that case, I think it's good to track interrupt-parent explicitly.
Doesn't really hurt anything. We already protect for stuff like making
sure a parent doesn't depend on its child, etc.

Not sure I understand this.
On a side note, if I'm adding device links between a device and the
"interrupt-parent" it's pointing to, at worst, I'm having it depend on
an interrupt controller its child devices would depend on. This
combined with the fact that "weird" links like "parent depending on
child", "non-device node having interrupt-parent", etc are already
ignored, seems safe to leave in "interrupt-parent" to catch these
cases where interrupt controllers don't specify "interrupts" or
"interrupt-map"? I don't mind removing it, but maybe we can wait till
we get fw_devlink=on and then remove it to see if anything breaks? If
nothing breaks, we can remove explicit interrupt-parent parsing?
Going back to interrupt-map, I understand the syntax now. I'm trying
to see if I can break up of_irq_parse_raw() into smaller pieces and
reuse (call into) some of that code. While doing that I see that when
"address-cells" isn't present, the "addrsize" is initialized to 2 [1]
but when "address-cells" isn't present, the "newaddrsize" is
initialized to 0 [1]. Why is the default value of #address-cells two
different numbers?
