Hi Linus,

Yes, it have holes and avoiding translate some gpio to irq, but it also
using a different hwirq number to do the translate.

Let's me describe my problem more clearly. On our SoC, if a pin support
interrupt it will have 2 different numbers for it. For examples, here's
a partial list for the gpio and EINT number mappings on mt8135:

   gpio  EINT
     0     49
     1     48
    ...........
    36     97
    37     19      
    ...........

To control interrupt related function, we'll need EINT number to locate
corresponding register bits. When interrupt occurs, the interrupt
handler will know which EINT interrupt occurs. In irq_chip functions,
only .irq_request_resources and .irq_release_resources use gpio number
to set pinmux to EINT mode and all the others need EINT number.

Because EINT number is used more frequently in interrupt related
functions, it make sense to use EINT number as hwirq instead of gpio
number. That means irq_domain will translate EINT number to virq.
So what mtk_gpio_to_irq actually do is translate gpio number to EINT
number and use irq domain to translate it to virq.

Below is a draft of what I have in mind. For SoC that can use gpio
number to control irq they still use gpiochip_irqchip_add(). For SoC
that need to use another number to control irq, like us, can use
gpiochip_irqchip_add_with_map. We can't reuse gpiochip_to_irq or
gpiochip_irq_reqres/relres in GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP, but we can still reuse
others code.

Let me know if this is the direction you want.
Thanks
