Why do they have to be different? IRQF_SHARED doesn't work?

Why can't you request each IRQ until it succeeds?

What happens when there are 5 DMA controllers?

If using more than 1 interrupt will never work or be needed, then I'm
inclined to say just describe that 1 interrupt. Yes, that goes against
'describe all the h/w', but there's always exceptions. I suppose you
need to know which 'interrupts' index (output) you are using. If so, you
can do something like this:

interrupts = <-1>, <-1>, <3 0>, <-1>;
