And? That's not a problem. A single device can have some interrupts
routed to an interrupt controller, and some to another. See the OMAP
stuff and the use of interrupts-extended.

The device never cares about the controller it's on, and none of that
affects the way it works. It is connected to a pin that has certain
properties, and that's about it.

You're misguided here. Your PDC is not special, and it fits in the
existing framework just fine, just like all the other GPC, wakeupgen,
ictlr, and the rest.

Exactly. They are pretty similar. Hence my suggestion to adopt the same
approach, which you don't seem to agree with.
