I guess this list was obtained by with a: git grep '"interrupt-map"'

I suppose that should be sufficient to find all the cases. I'd like to
be able to identify this case just from a DT file, but it's not really
clear

Perhaps a simpler solution to all this is only handle interrupt-map
with interrupt-controller if it points to its own node. That works for
Apple and I don't see a need beyond that case.

With a NULL terminated list, you can use of_device_compatible_match() instead .
