Since UIC1 is cascaded off UIC0 in the interrupt tree,
UIC1 should have an interrupt-parent pointing to UIC0
so the interrupt tree can be traversed to the root.
Not necessary if UIC0 is the device tree parent of UIC1.
(And in fact it would be "bad style").  But...

I know this was beaten to death last week, but I would
still argue that in the device tree UIC0 and UIC1 should
be siblings.  (In the interrupt tree the cascade relationship
is described through interrupt-parent).
... that is my opinion as well (as I'm sure you know ;-) ),
and then of course you _do_ need the interrupt-parent property.
Ok, there are enough people of this opinion (including Paul), that
I've changed to representing the UICs as siblings.
