Hmmm... I dont see the bug...  From your description above, I see the
following sequence.

First iteration:
	child = &ic at yyy;
	cannot find "interrupt-parent" so take 'if' clause
		p = of_get_parent(child);  (root)
	iteration continues because #interrupt-cells not found in 'p'(root)
Second iteration:
	child = root;
	found "interrupt-parent", so take 'else' clause
		p = of_find_node_by_phandle();  (ic at xxx)
	iteration stops because #interrupt-cells is found in 'p'(ic at xxx)

What am I missing in my admittedly short look at the code?

This does break one use-case.  Sometimes the interrupt-parent is the
