Not sure what you mean - switch the order of the if/else?

Even in the IRQ thread?  Would a tracepoint be preferable?

Btw, this is drawn from the v1 implmentation.

No - the function is extended in subsequent patches.  I usually make a
note of cases like this in the commentary, but missed this one.

Another one drawn from the v1 implementation, so not sure.
gpiod_to_irq() can potentially return EINVAL, which is definitely not
appropriate to return, or ENXIO, which is actually more appropriate??
