I had to say this. Now I got one. According to the OpenPIC there is no
such thing as an internal and external interrupt sources. Base + 0x10000
is the first interrupt source register and the number of interrupt
sources is specified in the feature register. 

So the split is a FSL thing.
What do you thing about making this clear? Adding into every .dts a
comment right on top or maybe in
Documentation/powerpc/dts-bindings/fsl/?
