Thanks for interrupt-names suggestion!

We did experiments and it looks cleaner now. In the device tree we define only the interrupts and interrupt-names that are of interest:

dmc0: dmc@200000 {
 compatible = "brcm,dmc-520", "arm,dmc-520";
 reg = <0x200000 0x80000>;
 interrupts = <0x0 0x349 0x4>, <0x0 0x34B 0x4>;
 interrupt-names = "dram_ecc_errc", "dram_ecc_errd";
};

In the driver code, we maintain an interrupt table with all known interrupts (name, irq, mask, etc.) Upon probing, we go through every known interrupt name and call platform_get_irq_byname(). If any interrupt has been defined then we update the interrupt number in the table.

In isr function we lookup the mask and perform specific logic.

No, we do not list them.

Do you suggest to list all of them in the device tree node? Currently we list only the enabled ones and update the mask accordingly.

Please let us know whether our approach makes sense, we will submit new patch after your confirmation.
