Thanks Scott.
Do you know the logic of the hwirq <-> virq mapping? When I was digging
into the GPIO interrupt, the hwirq seems to be the same as the virq
(both are 47 which is 16 (external interrupt) + 31 (internal interrupt).
If I want to use external interrupt 7 and 8, should the virq also be 7
and 8? For some reason I am getting 41 for virq... may be I am still
doing something wrong.
This is the node definition I created:
rpcl {
compatible = "ba,rpcl";
interrupts = <0x7 2 0x8 2>;
interrupt-parent = <&mpic>;
};

Ideally, yes. It's good to describe your device with a node even if it
doesn't have interrupts.

Right, it's because gpio is an interrupt controller, not just a user of
one.

No. If the device's node describes the interrupt correctly, you can use
irq_of_parse_and_map() on the device node to get a virtual irq that you
can
pass to request_irq().
