Are you sure this never appears? Is there a another irqchip stacked on
top of this one? Could you please dump /sys/kernel/debug/irq/irqs/XX,
where XX is an interrupt number using one of these GPIO pins? Please
run it without this patch, as I just noticed that debugfs blindly
uses the name.

This is next on my list of things to address. The whole 'let's copy a
whole irqchip structure and hijack random pointers' should not have
happened, and it certainly is going to be an interesting ride.
