Mark, is this how this should be implemented?

The global arrays are hideous!

I think an exported function with comments would be better.

It's pretty fugly.  Can the REGMAP_IRQ_REG be expanded upon?

Something like (completely untested):

unsigned int type_reg_offset_inc = 0;
for (i = BD70528_INT_GPIO0; i <=  BD70528_INT_GPIO3; i++) {
	irqs[i].type.type_reg_offset     = type_reg_offset_inc;
	irqs[i].type.type_rising_val     = 0x20;
	irqs[i].type.type_falling_val    = 0x10;
	irqs[i].type.type_level_high_val = 0x40;
	irqs[i].type.type_level_low_val  = 0x50;
	irqs[i].type.types_supported =
		(IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_BOTH | IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH | IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW);
	type_reg_offset_inc += 2;
}

It's still fugly though.

If we can do this via MACROs, it would be better.

If you do this normally, you can use MACROs (see other drivers) and
remove the boilerplate init code you have here.

"wdt_set must be called when the rtc_timer_lock is held"
