I don't follow you. The ones that have interrupts need to be reported by 
gc->qe_gpio_to_irq[] so that gpiod_to_irq() return the IRQ number, for 
instance to gpio_sysfs_request_irq() so that it can install an irq 
handler. I can't see where they would be referenced by an "interrupts" 
property.

The gpio controller is not an interrupt controller. The GPIO controller 
is brought by patch 1/6 and documented in patch 6/6.

Ah. I didn't know, and checkpatch.pl doesn't know either it seems.
