This is a mess!
How does this relate to the existing "aspeed,ast2700-intc-ic"? Its
schema has a block diagram of connections which I can understand. This
does not.
The use of child nodes here is questionable. A variable number of
interrupt banks is not a reason to have child nodes. I'm only guessing
that's what's happening here because you haven't explained it.

What are the 10 different interrupts? You have to define what each one
is.

This node is not an interrupt-controller.
