Actually, the .dts flags depend on the specific interrupt controller you are using. For example, MPIC uses a different mapping scheme (for historical reasons).

That does indeed look odd. Might be worth trying to figure out with the git history who came up with that code in the first place and ask that person. Without answer, I think it's valid to patch that out.
