Yes I have seen that in arm/arch64/kernel/pci.c, in function pcibios_add_device this number is getting updated w.r.t to interrupt map property. So the host bridge gets this number, so you meant like, first end point device will get this irq number when it asks through request irq, if it is legacy interrupt, and if another legacy request comes this will be incremental. If it is MSI it depends on MSI domain present in root port driver, End point will get different number irrespective of this irq number.
