We could for the simple case:

void gpiochip_set_chained_irqchip(struct gpio_chip *gpiochip,
                  struct irq_chip *irqchip,
                  int parent_irq,
                  irq_flow_handler_t parent_handler)

Note parent_irq.

Just add a field for parent_irq in struct gpio_chip so the
mapping function has this around.

But the second case with multiple parents is a valid
counterargument, gpiolib irqchip helpers
is just for the simple case of a cascaded IRQ off a single
parent, not for complex scenarios.

So PCA cannot use gpiochip_set_chained_irqchip()?

Anyway I feel I should fix this as per above for all
chips using that function, right?
