Hi Linus,
giving some details about the HW until Herve can return to this topic.

True, it only muxes 96 GPIOs to the 8 available irqs.

Because the HW design kind of suggests it, I'd think. The GPIO
controller is a standard Synopsis one ("snps,dw-apb-gpio") without any
extras. The GPIOMUX (which is extra) is according to the docs part of
the system controller with a dedicated set of registers. Luckily,
self-contained and not mangled with other functionality.
I am just stating where this comes from. I haven't looked into the
details of your suggestion. It may or may not make sense to add this to
the Synopsis driver with a dedicated compatible for RZ/N1D. I'll leave
this for Herve, though.
Happy hacking,
Wolfram
