We don't have any official public git for sharing local patches like I
mentioned earlier.  That's not convenient.  I'll see if I can share my
local patches/changes to you in some way, or please wait until they are
submitted for review.

Dt-binding documentation and driver were upstreamed:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/interrupt-
controller/fsl,irqsteer.yaml
drivers/irqchip/irq-imx-irqsteer.c

'dc{0,1}_irqsteer' is not yet upstreamed in device tree.

Yes, they should be indices and an IMX_LPCG_CLK_ index should be used
here to specify the consumed clock according to imx8qxp-lpcg.yaml.

Yes, I think it is required. See imx-pwm.yaml, there are quite a few
"fsl,soc-pwm" compatible strings listed as one item together with
"fsl,imx27-pwm".

IMX_LPCG_CLK_ should be used here.

Like I mentioned above, imx8qxp-lpcg.yaml explicitly said "The clock
consumer should specify the desired clock by having the clock ID in its
"clocks" phandle cell. See the full list of clock IDs from:
include/dt-bindings/clock/imx8-lpcg.h".

Device tree describes hardware, which doesn't bind with
software/operating systems.  If an IP generates interrupts to an
interrupt controller, then the interrupts property should be documented
in dt-binding documentation and device tree should list the property.

imx-pwm.yaml actually requires the interrupts property.
