The reference is set in pyra-mainboard-v5.2.dtsi

		interrupt-parent = <&gpio99>;
		interrupts = <14 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING>;

But: this is another symptom of the tca6424 (gpio99) not being available.
It is not only a gpio expander but also an interrupt expander.

So we should focus on finding out why the tca6424 / pcal6524 does
not probe.

BR and thanks,
