If there's only one possibility for a given platform, then you can
just use of_find_compatible_node(). I don't think it matters that
different platforms have a different device here. It's not going to be
a large table and you may need to know the differences if there's not
an abstracted interface to it (seems there is in your case).
Alternatively, if the PDC/MPM code knows what interrupt controller it
is associated with, then it could setup that relationship and the
interrupt controller code could retrieve that. Maybe the stacked
domain support doesn't work in that direction (I haven't looked at the
irq code much since that was added).

However, my main concern is documenting something genericish in a
device specific binding. It looks like Tegra is trying to add the same
thing, so this needs to be documented in a common place. One question
is whether wakeup is the only use or if this should be more generally
a secondary interrupt parent?
