You don't need to call openpic_hookup_cascade, if there is no cascade.
You only want to set EPIC_SERIAL_MODE if the controller really is in
serial mode.

No.  The '0's are wrong.  You only need to describe, in terms of
level/edge, documented interrupts.  You then make multiple calls to
openpic_set_sources(), to skip over the non-existant interrupts.
