gic_set_type() in drivers/irqchip/irq-gic.c

	/* SPIs have restrictions on the supported types */
	if (gicirq >= 32 && type != IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH &&
			    type != IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING)
		return -EINVAL;


gic_irq_domain_translate() in the same file:

		/* Get the interrupt number and add 16 to skip over SGIs */
		*hwirq = fwspec->param[1] + 16;

		/*
		 * For SPIs, we need to add 16 more to get the GIC irq
		 * ID number
		 */
		if (!fwspec->param[0])
			*hwirq += 16;


So it seems "acceptable" to compute spi = d->hwirq - 32;

I will read this again carefully:
