If it appears that it makes code uglier / complicated, please add the note
somewhere to answer the above question.

My understanding that these checks are equivalent to the

	if (offset >= ngpio)

one, which is performed by GPIO library, i.o.w. you will never get an offset
outside the range of supported GPIO lines.

If my understanding is wrong, these checks need a comment why.

Thinking about this more, perhaps you can register two IRQ chips with
different functions, so this won't be part of the very critical interrupt
handler (as we all want to reduce overhead in it as much as possible).
Anyway, think about this and try different options, choose the one you
think the best.
