I have another concern on a similar topic.

On OMAP4 the SoC interrupts external to the MPU (SPI) have an offset of 
32. Only the internal PPI are between 0 and 31.

For the moment we add 32 to every SoC interrupts in the irq.h define, 
but I'm assuming that this offset calculation should be done thanks to a 
dedicated irq domain for the SPI.
The real HW physical number start at 0, and thus this is that value that 
should be in the irq binding of the device.

So ideally we should have a irq domain for the PPI starting at 0 and 
another one for the SPI starting at 32. Or 32 and 64 for the exynos4 
case, but it looks like the PPI/SPI offset is always 32.
