This is just adding handling of cascading interrupts from a
GPIO chip as far as I can tell. We don't do that with local
per-driver hacks anymore if there is no special reason, we have
helpers on gpiolib to handle this.

Make your Kconfig select GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP and take it from
there, look at how other drivers using GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP are
done. Read the documentation for chained irqchips in
Documentation/gpio/driver.txt
