I agree the proposed approach is more standard and I am fine with it, but can
you please provide more details about how it can panic?

gpio_chip is the first element of airoha_pinctrl_gpiochip so it is fine to cast
irq_data_get_irq_chip_data() return value to airoha_pinctrl_gpiochip, right?

Regards,
Lorenzo
