So for drivers currently using GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP the calbacks were
always overridden, even if they supplied their own?

Hence after this change, that's no longer the case, and pinctrl-at91.c
will use its own, which are identical to the generic ones, modulo the bug fix
in 5b76e79c77264899 ("gpiolib: irqchip: prevent driver unloading if gpio is
used as irq only"). Oops...

I already wrote an untested patch to convert pinctrl-at91 to the generic
ones, shall I send that right away?
