You snipped the rest of the patch, which involves more than just IRQ
handling. The same registers touch both interrupts and data bus endian
configuration, so it can't possibly be done transparently to the NAND
driver.

I'm not familiar with nested irqdomains. Do they address anything like
the above problem?
