This one is not going to work most of the time (ignoring the fact that
the primary controller doesn't have a struct device) because the
interrupt-parent is typically in a parent node. You could make it work
by specifying 'interrupt-parent' in every node, but that's not a
pattern I want to encourage. There's also all the other ways the
parent can be determined. Any parent node with 'interrupt-controller'
or 'interrupt-map' property is the parent. And there's
'interrupts-extended' too.
