It is actually almost possible, but it is something I gave up looking
at. You can get the regmap of your parent i2c device without having
knowledge of the type of parent.

If we are tightly coupling as above then using platform_irq is an extra
inefficiency. You both have to populate this then parse it afterwards.
Why not just use the regmap helper? Ill admit this code is like this as
there was a period where platform irqs in DT just was not working right!
We should really agree now if we are going for loose or tight coupling
now rather than keep switching?
