Or its parent, or its grandparent, etc.

Domain. An interrupt nexus is to the interrupt tree
what a node is to the device tree.

s/line/pin/ to agree with PCI terminology.

phandle _of_ the parent node please.

Same thing again. You missed an underscore, too.

same thing
Looks good otherwise, thanks.
