From: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin@xxxxxxxxxxx> An #interrupt-cells = <0> property may arguably be a right answer for an interrupt controller having just one interrupt and no options to configure. There are anyway already existing examples in the tree, both in DTs and in the bindings. Now the problem is that of_irq_count() called on an interrupt generating device having one of the former controllers as parent would result in an endless loop. It's especially unpleasant in the startup where of_irq_count() <= ... <= of_platform_default_populate_init() will silently hang forever (unless a watchdog bites). Prevent others from spending the same time on debugging this by refusing to parse more than one IRQ for such controllers.
