Thank you for trying!

I haven't looked deeply into this and I don't know if it's relevant, but...

The idea is that GPIO driver has an IRQ chip that announces handle_bad_irq()
as a handler and IRQ_TYPE_NONE as default type at probe stage. It also needs
to implement ->set_irq_type() callback where actual handler is going to be
locked.

That's what I do not see implemented in the driver. Moreover, I do see it
implements its own ->to_irq() callback which shouldn't be there.

Taking all above into consideration _I think_ the drivers need a bit of
refreshments.
