Besides some comments below about splitting more of this patch to better
isolated logical changes, this one can also be split to a few stages. For
example, one stage is to move to regmap (from direct MMIO access) without
really switching over to gpio-regmap.

Now errno.h can be removed as basic errno is provided by err.h.

Unneeded churn.

See below, this belongs to a separate change.

Stray change. If required, should be in a separate patch.

This change should be in a separate patch.

Make an additional patch to move current driver to use cleanup.h, id est
guard()() and possibly scoped_guard() from there.

Then in this patch those ton's of goto:s should be replaced with simple
'return ret;'.`

Why not handling error properly here?

ret = regmap_read(...);
if (ret)
goto out_irq_exit;

Is lockdep happy with this?

Split assignment

unsigned int virq;

virq = irq_find_mapping(pl061->irq_domain, i);
if (virq)

Split assignment as it is validated later on.

-ENODATA?

for_each_set_bit(), but make sure the type of the variable is unsigned long
(might require a temporary one).

Ditto.

Oh, this is something that needs to be fixed (but it's not your issue).
Why on earth this is not const?
