Overall I really like this driver and I think we should merge is as soon
as it is in reasonable shape and then improve on top so we can start
migrating drivers to it.

I think that should at least be irq_find_mapping(), the mapping should
definately not be created by the .to_irq() callback since that is just
a convenience function.

I don't know about this.

I don't think this is a good storage place for the irqdomain, we already have
gpio_irq_chip inside gpio_chip and that has an irqdomain, we should
strive to reuse that infrastructure also for regmap GPIO I think, for now
I would just leave .to_irq() out of this and let the driver deal with any
irqs.
