This is an hierarchical IRQ controller. (These IRQs are mapped 1-to-1
to IRQ lines.)
I was under the impression that we don't encode interrupts into the GPIO
controller like this when we have that.

Instead, hardcode these into the driver. The compatible string gives
away how the
local offsets map to the GIC IRQs.

Add no interrupts to the node but make sure that the GIC is the parent.
(Should be default.)

Compare e.g.
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/intel,ixp4xx-gpio.txt

Which has a similar "some hierarchical IRQs" setup.
