When I reported the interrupt-map issue with this binding/driver, I tried to reduce the
mapping/routing to something as small as possible, but I couldn't get away with anything
less than the following:

interrupt-map =
<31 &cpuintc 2>, /* UART0 */
<20 &cpuintc 3>, /* SWCORE */
<19 &cpuintc 4>, /* WDT IP1 */
<18 &cpuintc 5>; /* WDT IP2 */

The UART0 and WDT_IP1 mappings were required. These would cause the driver to assign
chained handlers to <&cpuint 2> and <&cpuint 4>, and also write values "2" and "4" to the
respective routing registers.

The SWCORE mapping was not required for any configured features, but it was required to
get the console to work. This is because a routing register value of "2", actually causes
that interrupt input to be (electrically) cascaded into to <&cpuintc 3>. But <&cpuintc 3>
would only be assigned a chained handler because of the SWCORE mapping.

By then assigning the same handler to all parent interrupts, and not caring about which
parent interrupt caused the handler to be called, this ended up actually working.

The SoCs we are using with this interrupt controller, connect their output lines to CPU
IRQ 2..7. If "interrupt-map" specifies parent HW IRQ numbers, the driver needs to verify
those numbers are valid. If they are, it can derive the routing register values from that.

On the other hand, routing register values have four bits. "0" appears to disconnect an
input interrupt, so that leaves 15 potential interrupt outputs (in theory, we don't have
actual hardware descriptions). Only 6 outputs are used here, but that could be an
implementation detail for these SoCs, rather than a limitation of the interrupt router.

The reason this worked, was due to a number of issues compensating for each other, like I
tried to explain above.

The mapping is indeed arbitrary, and not designed into the hardware. So it could (should?)
just be put in the driver, instead of the devicetree.

Best,
Sander
