Usually, hwirq is the interrupt as seen from this very device, i.e. in
this case it is 0 up to 32 referencing the portA gpio line that
triggered an interrupt. In this drivers context 'hwirq' above is
actually the virtual irq number Linux made up to identify an interrupt
coming from this IP block.

Therefore, above should really be irq instead of hwirq - but with a
more detailed review, I think it can be removed completely.

Looking in _probe, currently only one upstream interrupt is requested.
Jamie is right, that you should grab all interrupts - but you can forget
their virtual number after registering the handler. There are helper
functions to get it back in irq handler.
