The problem here is that there is no way back to the 'dev' associated with the irq.
To solve this requires a change to the function, or even better, just placing the function's
code inline, in which case a two stage approach is required:- first 'inline' the function
(from the common header file) to each of the PMIC's component drivers and second
raise a patch for each component driver do the change as you suggest which will
work because the correct 'dev' is available. Not that the second stage will have to
wait until the first statge is actually in main-line.
