No. This should come from the interrupt specifier you are getting from
the device. You should never make up that information.

Your amlogic,irqs-gpio property gives you a list of downstream
interrupts. The device connected to your pinctrl HW provides you with
the upstream interrupt number (which you will map to one of your
downstream IRQ) and crucially the trigger type. Please look at how the
TI cross bar works (again).

The question to answer is: in what circumstances do you have to convert
a GPIO into an IRQ at runtime? The only case should be "when you
discover a device having an interrupt pointing to your pinctrl". And in
this case, you have all the information to reconfigure the HW and assign
the interrupt.

I really don't get why you want or need to involve gpiolib in this.

Thanks,
