It's fine to assign it with an IRQ chip but not with GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP,
i.e. gc->irq better be NULL.

That is theoretically fine (I don't know this HW in particular).
It looks a bit fragile...

It's just a helper to translate a GPIO line to the corresponding Linux
IRQ number and when using GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP the GPIO core
will do this using the irqdomain, else it is up to the driver.
