Rather DT only specifies the peripherals and their cross-bar connection ID(i.e cross-bar IRQ line). This will be the driver input as a IRQ line from DT. The cross-bar driver needs to map any of the free list available on *request* only. Of-course you have 320 inputs out of which only 160 can be mapped and once you run out of it, you just return error on request IRQ. That way there is no contention.
