While not technically any different, I would suggest writing the above
as (d->hwirq & 0x1f), which makes it clear to the reader that this is
intended to be a cheap bit mask operation rather than an expensive
division.

I think there are plans to replace this code with
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-samsung.c, but I don't know if patches
exist already.

As of f9e7592230b, this code has been replaced with a pinctrl driver
and can be killed.

Tomasz Figa has a patch set to remove this file, will likely get merged
in 3.11.

AFAICT this code is the same driver as arch/arm/mach-s5p64x0/common.c
and will meet the same fate.

Right. I think irq_domain_add_simple() is the right interface to use
here.

I'm not sure I understand why this doesn't work for the ones that use
a base that isn't a multiple of 32. Since you are masking the hwirq
rather than the irq number, it will still be zero-based, won't it?
