Admittedly I'm an ACPI novice and need help with deciding
about ACPI, but I mostly trust Mika to know these things right.

About this:

It's weird to me that the driver already has a requested IRQ and
everything, now it has to request it again from ACPI.

When I look into the acpi_gpiochip_request_interrupts()
I find it weird that it is void given how much can go wrong
inside it. Should it not return an errorcode?

As it was already fetched here and then later requested,
we still have to call acpi_gpiochip_request_interrupts()
further down the road? That is confusing to me, can you
explain what is going on?
