irq_chip structure, and give examples of the new pattern.

 If you do this, the additional irq_chip will be set up by gpiolib at the
 same time as setting up the rest of the GPIO functionality. The following
 is a typical example of a chained cascaded interrupt handler using
-the gpio_irq_chip:

+call into the core gpiolib code:
