No. You must implement the irqchip and GPIO controllers to
be orthogonal, doing things like this creates a semantic that
assumes .to_irq() is always called before using the IRQ and
that is not guaranteed at all. A consumer may very well
use an interrupt right off the irqchip without this being called
first. All this function should do is translate a number. No
other semantics.

This needs to be done from the irqchip (sorry).
