void orion_gpio_irq_handler(int pinoff)
{
        struct orion_gpio_chip *ochip;
        u32 cause, type;
        int i;

        ochip = orion_gpio_chip_find(pinoff);
        if (ochip == NULL)
                return;

        cause = readl(GPIO_DATA_IN(ochip)) & readl(GPIO_LEVEL_MASK(ochip));
        cause |= readl(GPIO_EDGE_CAUSE(ochip)) & readl(GPIO_EDGE_MASK(ochip));

        for (i = 0; i < ochip->chip.ngpio; i++) {
                int irq;

                irq = ochip->secondary_irq_base + i;

                if (!(cause & (1 << i)))
                        continue;

                type = irqd_get_trigger_type(irq_get_irq_data(irq));
                if ((type & IRQ_TYPE_SENSE_MASK) == IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_BOTH) {
                        /* Swap polarity (race with GPIO line) */
                        u32 polarity;

                        polarity = readl(GPIO_IN_POL(ochip));
                        polarity ^= 1 << i;
                        writel(polarity, GPIO_IN_POL(ochip));
                }
                generic_handle_irq(irq);
        }
}

orion_gpio_chip_find(pinoff) when called with pinoff 32, 40, 48, or 56
will return the same gpio chip. The loop:

        for (i = 0; i < ochip->chip.ngpio; i++) {

will iterate over all lines of the controller.

Here is your mistake. It not a secondary handler. It is a function
which might trigger a secondary handler, if the status bit requires
that the secondary handler should be called..

I would say the current code does redundant stuff.

This code has also been tested on a Dove by Sebastian Hesselbarth and
he did not notice anything strange happening on his system.
