I agree with Arnd. Here, the 'irq' is 'virq'.
Andriy, you may be confused by the code like 'irq_create_mapping'. For Quark case, it has 8 GPIO pins, and each pin can trigger
interrupt, but all these interrupts are triggered by PCI irq which is shared. The 'irq' in pdata is PCI irq. As all GPIO interrupts connect to the PCI
irq, once the GPIO interrupt is triggered, and the PCI irq handler will be called 'dwapb_irq_handler_mfd'. And in 'dwapb_do_irq', it will read the
interrupt register to see the interrupt is triggered by which GPIO pin, and 'irq_create_mapping' is for this case.
