"open-pic" is the correct value for the device_type property.
See the binding at:
http://playground.sun.com/1275/bindings/chrp/chrp1_8a.ps
That is the definition for open pic interrupt controllers (AFAIK).
I am not aware of any official binding with "interrupt-controller"
as the device_type.
However, the interrupt mapping spec says that all interrupt
controller (regardless of device_type) must have a
property named "interrupt-controller" to identify
the device node as an interrupt controller and root of
a interrupt tree.
