Trying to do some real review...

I don't understand this *at all* so help me out here.
.gpio_to_irq() should return a *Linux* IRQ number, usually we take
the event offset (in this case) and map to a Linux IRQ using the
irqdomain helper library. Can you explain how we can be sure that
this number (apparently just a read from a register on the device)
can be made to correspond to a Linux IRQ?
Also if this thing can generate IRQs, are these one line to the CPU
per IRQ really? Don't you need to demux the status register and
create a cascades irqchip?
Maybe it's just me not understanding x86 & ACPI so bear with me...

So you read the IRQ from some plug-n-play here, and it's some
system-wide IRQ number?

So that is this mystery with the IRQs and how they turn into
Linux IRQs.

Why do you need to be able to configure this?
It must be a real usecase, debugging can be done by patching
the code.

Argh how can anyone possibly make this out ... do you really
need them or can we get rid of some and rely on autodetect?

So I don't really like that interrupt enablement and edge and low/high
is done with module parameters instead of just creating an irqchip and
have it implement the operations to do exactly these things at runtime
instead.
Again maybe some x86 thing I don't get...

Most comments concern the other driver too.
