Thanks. I'll use this sequence during probe().

(...)
	cg->regmap = pmic->regmap;

	retval = gpiochip_add(&cg->chip);
	if (retval) {
		dev_warn(&pdev->dev, "add gpio chip error: %d\n", retval);
		return ret;
	}

	gpiochip_irqchip_add(&cg->chip, &crystalcove_irqchip, 0,
			     handle_simple_irq, IRQ_TYPE_NONE);

	retval = request_threaded_irq(irq, NULL, crystalcove_gpio_irq_handler,
				      IRQF_ONESHOT, KBUILD_MODNAME, cg);

	if (retval) {
		dev_warn(&pdev->dev, "request irq failed: %d\n", retval);
		WARN_ON(gpiochip_remove(&cg->chip));
		return retval;
	}

	return 0;
}

Is the code above OK?

But this code will trigger a crash in gpiolib-acpi. Currently at the end
of gpiochip_add(), it calls:

gpiochip_add() -> acpi_gpiochip_add() -> acpi_gpiochip_request_interrupts()

acpi_gpiochip_request_interrupts() needs ->to_irq to work. Without having
called gpiochip_irqchip_add() already, this will be NULL:

        if (!chip->to_irq)
                return;    <-- It will return here.

        INIT_LIST_HEAD(&acpi_gpio->events);

In the tear down path, acpi_gpiochip_free_interrupts() will find to_irq is
no longer NULL, then it will walk an uninitialized list.

So, should this be fixed in gpiolib-acpi?
