Hm! Thierry has recently submitted patches to make it easier for chips with
banked IRQs to use the GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP.

Please look at the code in gpio/gpio-tegra186.c and see if you can use
his approach.

As you can see this chip is using gpiochip_irq_map/unmap in its
domain, and manipulates struct gpio_irq_chip directly.

I think the idea is to make it possible to use GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP
for banked IRQs but the infrastructure is not yet inside the gpiolib
so it is a bit taped on the side right now.
