That's one of the reasons. Look at the existing irqchip drivers: they
have nothing in common with yours. The regmap irqchip abstraction may
be convenient for what you are doing, but the result isn't really an
irqchip driver. It is something that is a small bit of a larger device
and not an interrupt controller driver on its own. The irqchip
subsystem is there for "first class" interrupt controllers.

That's not what I'm talking about.

I'm referring to this sort of construct:

+	CS42L43_IRQ_REG(HP_STARTUP_DONE,			MSM),
+	CS42L43_IRQ_REG(HP_SHUTDOWN_DONE,			MSM),
+	CS42L43_IRQ_REG(HSDET_DONE,				MSM),
+	CS42L43_IRQ_REG(TIPSENSE_UNPLUG_DB,			MSM),
+	CS42L43_IRQ_REG(TIPSENSE_PLUG_DB,			MSM),
+	CS42L43_IRQ_REG(RINGSENSE_UNPLUG_DB,			MSM),
+	CS42L43_IRQ_REG(RINGSENSE_PLUG_DB,			MSM),
+	CS42L43_IRQ_REG(TIPSENSE_UNPLUG_PDET,			MSM),
+	CS42L43_IRQ_REG(TIPSENSE_PLUG_PDET,			MSM),
+	CS42L43_IRQ_REG(RINGSENSE_UNPLUG_PDET,			MSM),
+	CS42L43_IRQ_REG(RINGSENSE_PLUG_PDET,			MSM),

Why isn't this described in firmware tables? Why doesn't it need to be
carried as part of the driver? Is "CLASS_D_AMP" something an interrupt
controller driver should care about?
