Okay. I will take a look at that. The key issue that this patch
addresses is that currently driver only calls platform_get_irq once and
assumes the rest are continuous which is wrong hence the key issue
addressed with this patch is to call platform_get_irq for each interrupt.

The version 4 is here:

I will try to follow up with generic gpiochip_irq_map/unmap once i get
that working. Hope that is okay?
