I hope you got the answer by now. When I looked into the conversion I saw that
there were missing calls to gpiochip_{enable/disable}_irq APIs. But at that
time I blindly assumed (yeah very bad of myself) that the parent irqchip will
handle that :(

Anyway, you should call these helpers from the mask/unmask callbacks as a part
of the conversion patch. Let me know if you are onto it or not!
