Ah, sorry, I got confused again by which registers are where in these
GPF banks. Let's make it the other way around and make DT contain eint
registers in first regs entry and hardcode eint_res_idx to 0 for the
time being. However it should be still beneficial to refactor the code
and calculate per-bank eint_base to avoid adding the offset every
time, similarly to pctl_base/offset, from my suggestion below.

Ah, scratch this one sentence. I got confused with the register layout
again, sorry. Please refactor both eint and pctl as I suggested in the
upper paragraph.

Best regards,
