You don't have to implement all the drivers now, but please completely 
describe the device. As is, there is no reason to have a child GPIO 
node.

Kind of generic. Only 1 single version ever?

Not necessary. A parent node with 'interrupt-controller' property is the 
interrupt's parent.

Custom flags? Use standard flags.

DT binding headers should be part of this patch.
