Thanks for looking into this. Comments below.

I'm surprised. This is definitely *not* 5.18 material, and I can't see
the patches in Linus' tree. Are you sure you're not running -next
instead?

I'd rather you don't do this. This was added as a band-aid for drivers
that display a device-specific string in /proc/interrupts, and that we
cannot fix because the string is in effect an ABI.

Here, you're going in the opposite direction (making the name
device-specific while it was constant so far). This has the same
ABI-breaking effect, and we shouldn't do that. It is also rather
pointless, as we already have all the required debugging information
in debugfs (and I assume that this is the reason this is added).

You seem to be missing the updates for these two functions. Please see
the updated documentation in commit 5644b66a9c63 ("Documentation:
Update the recommended pattern for GPIO irqchips").

Thanks,
