Will see after holiday and perhaps make more comments. Here is just a

So, but why one will need that in practice? GPIO driver usually
provides a pin based IRQ chip which maps each pin to the corresponding
offset inside specific IRQ domain.

Why? Shouldn't it be dependent to the amount of actual pins / ports?
Intel Quark has only 8 AFAIR.

So, on the first glance the patch looks either superfluous or taking
wrong approach. Please, elaborate more why it's done in this way and
what the case for all this in practice.
