This patch looks incomplete to me.  With it applied I don't think the
vic's dt node won't get associated with the irq_domain, which will
make dt irq mapping fail to work.  The node pointer needs to get
passed into the vic initialization routine if the
irq_domain_generate_simple() call is to be removed.
