I re-read the hardware spec now and it occured to me that for north and
southwest community, only the first 8 IRQs can be used as interrupts
(all GPIOs which have IntSel value < 8). Rest can only trigger GPEs
which are used for EC events.

I'll submit patches shortly using this information and valid_mask as you
suggested.
