Wut? Auto-request here? This can not be right.

This call should be done in the new
.irq_request_resources callback in struct irq_chip.

This call should be done in the new
.irq_release_resources callback in struct irq_chip.

Looking at the driver, it should be switched to using the new
irqchip helpers inside gpiolib, see e.g.
commit 7bcbce55f20e41c014df4d5d9c8448f7b5e49d79
"gpio: pca953x: use gpiolib irqchip helpers"

Yours,
