Have a look at include/linux/regmap.h, there is "struct 
regmap_irq_type".
If you're lucky, you can just supply the corresponding values that fits
your hardware. If it doesn't match your hardware at all, then you can
keep your own functions, or if its slightly different, then maybe you
can add support for your quirk in regmap-irq. You don't necessarily have
to use regmap-irq together with gpio-regmap. You can also just use
regmap-irq or gpio-regmap independently.

A quick grep for "type_rising_" lists drivers/mfd/max77650.c and
drivers/mfd/rohm-bd70528.c for example.
