Can't we get rid of the tegra_gpio_chip global variable altogether? We
set a struct tegra_gpio_bank * as the chip data for each of the
interrupts, so if we added a back link to the GPIO chip to each bank
we could easily get at the GPIO chip (and its parent device) from the
IRQ chip implementation.

This adds a gratuitous blank line.
