The implementation expect the parent to use the same interrupt-cells
format as GIC. Based on the block diagram in the cover-letter, we could
say GIC is the irq parent of sysirq. So I'm planning to change to this,
hope this is OK.

- #interrupt-cells : Use the same format as specified by GIC in
  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/gic.txt
- interrupt-parent: phandle of irq parent for sysirq. The parent must
  use the same interrupt-cells format as GIC.
