This is because irqchips and gpiochips need to be orthogonal
APIs.

In a *lot* of drivers it is implicitly required that gpio_to_irq()
is called first because they only call irq_create_mapping()
there. (And not in subsequent interrupt handlers etc.)

No matter what, I would worry less about that and spend
some time on using my new gpiolib helpers for
gpiochip_irqchip_add() and
gpiochip_set_chained_irqchip().

Yours,
Linus Walleij
