Yes move it out of mask/unmask but no, not into set_type().

Can you not use the irqchip startup()/shutdown() callbacks
instead?

And how come we have no clean separation between gpiochip
and the pinmux parts here, why cant we just call
pinctrl_request_gpio() and pinctrl_free_gpio() here instead?
Or maybe pinctrl_gpio_direction_input() and have that set
up the muxing in the pinctrl driver side?

It looks slightly convoluted.
