I see.

I wonder if it is better to use one device per bank, and then set
IRQF_SHARED when you issue request_irq(), and have the
IRQ handler return IRQ_NONE if the IRQ comes from this
bank, or IRQ_HANDLED if it has handled an IRQ from its own
space.

This way multiple banks can share a single interrupt line.
