For all I can tell, the driver implements the automatic assignment
correctly, but I was also going to ask for removing the da9052->irq_base
variable and using the linear domain instead.

We don't have any platforms actually setting the irq_base in the
mainline kernel (I assume some of out tree platforms do this), but there
are a few drivers that need to be adapted to use regmap_irq_get_virq
or irq_to_desc(irq)->hw_irq, respectively:

drivers/gpio/gpio-da9052.c:     return da9052->irq_base + DA9052_IRQ_GPI0 + offset;
drivers/input/touchscreen/da9052_tsi.c: tsi->irq_pendwn = da9052->irq_base + irq_pendwn;
drivers/input/touchscreen/da9052_tsi.c: tsi->irq_datardy = da9052->irq_base + irq_datardy;
drivers/power/da9052-battery.c: irq -= bat->da9052->irq_base;
drivers/power/da9052-battery.c:         ret = request_threaded_irq(bat->da9052->irq_base + irq,
drivers/power/da9052-battery.c:         free_irq(bat->da9052->irq_base + irq, bat);
drivers/power/da9052-battery.c:         free_irq(bat->da9052->irq_base + irq, bat);
