Tglx: is this generally speaking the right thing to do for a cascaded
irqchip? (It looks a bit odd but makes some sense.)

So I have introduced the generic GPIO irqchip helpers in order to avoid
fixing exactly this type of bug in 200 different places.

Can you take this action:

(A) Convert the BCM kona driver to use the genric GPIO irqchip
helpers e.g. in the manner of this patch:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-gpio&m=139696011031186&w=2

(B) Make exactly this bug fix in the gpiolib irqchip helpers,
by partching drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c instead?

That way we solve the problem for *several* chips in one go.

Yours,
