Basically the helpers are for the simple case where every pin
can fire an independent interrupt.

Since there is just one single irqdomain for the entire chip, the
helpers require that all mappings go through the same domain.

If having several domains or other split-up results in more
elegant code, then code another solution locally, because we
just want to cover the generic cases, the special cases will still
be special.

Unless you see some really elegant way forward of course...
always choose the most elegand refactoring if you can.
