I am trying to pull hierarchical IRQ into the gpiolib core by refactoring
based on these and some other patches (like the IXP4xx GPIO driver).

I am working under the assumptions of what compatible strings
indicating the hierarchy topology and hard coded ranges of
offsets from parent to child in the driver only associated with
the compatible string, so no IRQ range mapping in the device
tree.

AFAICT that is how hierarchical irqdomain is engineered as of
today.
