While this is fixing the problem, but isn't the right fix to patch
the function gpiochip_irq_map() in gpiolib.c to call
irq_set_parent() for each IRQ as it gets mapped?

This driver is using the gpiolib irqchip helpers...

Then you fix not just this driver but all drivers, plus the complex
loop and calls to gpio_to_irq() etc goes away.
