IRQ's missing with MPC5200 GPT as an interrupt controller

I'm trying to make use of the GPT as interrupt controller.
My driver is getting most, but not all of the interrupts, besides that
I'm getting a whole bunch of spurious IRQs, so I'm trying to figure
out what's wrong.

		gpt6: timer at 660 {	
			compatible = "fsl,mpc5200b-gpt","fsl,mpc5200-gpt";
			reg = <0x660 0x10>;
			interrupts = <1 15 0>;
			interrupt-controller;
			#interrupt-cells = <1>;
		};

My device has the interrupt-parent property which links it to the
above interrupt controller.

		spi at f00 {
			#address-cells = <1>;
			#size-cells = <0>;
			compatible = "fsl,mpc5200b-spi","fsl,mpc5200-spi";
			reg = <0xf00 0x20>;
			interrupts = <2 13 0 2 14 0>;

			io-controller at 0 {
				compatible = "microkey,smc4000io";
				linux,modalias = "of_smc4000io";
				spi-max-frequency = <800000>;
				spi-cpha;
				reg = <0>;
				word-delay-us = <30>;
				interrupt-parent = <&gpt6>;
				interrupts = <2>; // And make it edge falling
			};

There are two things I find suspicious:
- First of all my interrupt is listed as virq# 16, shouldn't it be
virq# 0x50 ? (16 is te L2 value virq# 0x50 of mpc52xx_irqhost_map)
- Secondly in mpc52xx_gpt.c  mpc52xx_gpt_irq_mask() and
mpc52xx_gpt_irq_unmask() resp. clear and set the IrqEn bit of the GPT,
which is described in the MPC5200B_UM as "enables interrupt generation
to the CPU for all modes". The word 'generation' makes me suspicious,
because it could mean that while irqEn is cleared an edge on the GPT's
input does not even request an IRQ immediately after the bit is
cleared.  Or in other words, clearing the bit could do more that just
masking.
