In one review comment to your patch series Rob mentioned to be fine with using
the standard interrupts property.
However other involved people might have had a different opinion, I didn't read
all review comments.
I think the standard interrupts property is the best way.
We need mapped virq's to be used with the irq chaining. And for mapping an
interrupt we need not only the hwirq but also the IRQ domain. The interrupts
property and the related OF IRQ API calls like irq_of_parse_and_map provide
exactly what we need.
If somebody has serious objections to using the interrupts property then we
basically had to duplicate it and just give it a different name.
And such code duplication to me seems to be worse than using the interrupts
property slightly different than in the theory.
