Yeah, that patch seems to have also affected s3c64xx...

Yeah, this doesn't seem to be a logically correct fix, although it
should work since in s3c24xx all banks would have the same eint_base
value.

I would suggest a partial revert of 8b1bd11c1f8f, i.e. bringing back
samsung_pinctrl_drv_data::virt_base and undoing the changes made in
s3c24xx and s3c64xx EINT code.

Best regards,
