The clock controller, also part of the "CPU System Regs" is already defined
and used without the larger block
  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/microchip,lan966x-gck.yaml

IMHO, the binding related to the interrupt controller should be consistent
with the one related to the clock controller.

Yes, I call it OIC (Outband Interrupt Controller) as it is its name in the
datasheet explaining how it works.
The datasheet I have is not publicly available and so, I can point only to
the register map (url provided).

I think it would be better to keep "Outband Interrupt Controller" as
mentioned in the datasheet.

Best regards,
Hervé
