I think we can do even better if we extend the binding for this interrupt controller
driver to have either #interrupt-cells=<1> or #interrupt-cells=<2>, depending on the
chip that is being used. If the it is <1> (for pxa25x), then any driver would
just use a bare interrupt number. If it's <2> (for all others), the driver would
specify both the interrupt number and the priority, and we set up the register at
the time when the interrupt gets enabled.

Do you think that would work?
