How does it work when we want to use the ops from gic_eoimode1_chip? I
don't think it breaks, but it is a bit weird.

You could also replace this sequence by keeping the original structure
and assigning it to the embedded one (I don't think you save much by
replacing this with discreet field assignment).

Thanks,
