Question is: Does this work _today_ with any existing driver, where
one interrupt is served through ACPI and another as 'standard' Linux
interrupt ? If yes, it must be working, and using fdt to describe
the interrupt mapping for the non-ACPI interrupt should not make
a difference. If no, the problem does not really have anything
to do with fdt.

There's no such thing as an ACPI interrupt, it's just a data source in
the same way that PnP used to be. _CRS refers to platform interrupts.

Ah, you are catching my lack of ACPI knowledge.

Rephrasing the question:

"What happens when you have an ACPI device that contains an interrupt in
_CRS and contains a different interrupt in an embedded FDT block?"

Does the situation occur today, ie does it ever happen that one interrupt
for a device is specified (if that is the correct term) in _CRS and
another by some other means ?
