When is this useful?

When should it be set and when shouldin't it be?

Use of_property_read_bool.

You could do so here too.

In fact, doesn't the irq-mirror proeprty only make sense if this is an
interrupt controller?

Can you not cache the fact it's an interrupt controller?

Parsing the DT in a teardown path is very odd.
