The BSP doesn't seems to refer to anything but the 6 CPU HW IRQs, so it appears to be a
standard mti,cpu-interrupt-controller. Those only have 6 HW (2-7) and 2 SW (0-1) IRQs.

Indeed input-to-output is runtime configurable, but output-to-parent is hard-wired AFAICT.
If the output-to-parent mapping is known, an input-to-parent mapping can be used (i.e.
"interrupt-map") to select the outputs.

I think this hardware is similar to 'fsl,imx-intmux' (irq-imx-intmux.c). See also my
comments on the bindings patch.

Would you like me to submit the first two separately or will you take them as they are
from this series?

Best,
