This function takes an Linux irq number. That number is a virtual
irq number, which has nothing to do with the hardware. For example
a platform could look like this:

linux irq device base device irq
---------------------------------------------
0-63 SoC 0 0-63
64-127 SoC-GPIO 64 0-63
128-191 CPCAP 128 0-63

For the above example the function would map 128-191 to 0-63 as
used by the device.

No.
