These are commit IDs from linux-next. At least file from 20190822 should
pinpoint you to the correct commits.

@frank: please don't use commit IDs from linux-next as the history get's
rewritten every day and the IDs can change. Better search the tree to which they
got applied and use the commit IDs from there (stating, of course, which tree
you are looking at).

Looking at commit
a4872e80ce7d ("mfd: mt6397: Extract IRQ related code from core driver")

you can see that it doesn't just move the code but also adds new logic in
mt6397_irq_init(). :(

It seems your chip_id is not supported yet. So you will have to find out which
one it is and add it to the switch.

Hope that helped.
