-The old way of adding irqchips to gpiochips after registration is also still
-available but we try to move away from this:
-
-- DEPRECATED: gpiochip_irqchip_add(): adds a chained cascaded irqchip to a
-  gpiochip. It will pass the struct gpio_chip* for the chip to all IRQ
-  callbacks, so the callbacks need to embed the gpio_chip in its state
-  container and obtain a pointer to the container using container_of().
-  (See Documentation/driver-api/driver-model/design-patterns.rst)
-
-- gpiochip_irqchip_add_nested(): adds a nested cascaded irqchip to a gpiochip,
-  as discussed above regarding different types of cascaded irqchips. The
-  cascaded irq has to be handled by a threaded interrupt handler.
-  Apart from that it works exactly like the chained irqchip.
-
-- gpiochip_set_nested_irqchip(): sets up a nested cascaded irq handler for a
-  gpio_chip from a parent IRQ. As the parent IRQ has usually been
-  explicitly requested by the driver, this does very little more than
-  mark all the child IRQs as having the other IRQ as parent.

 If there is a need to exclude certain GPIO lines from the IRQ domain handled by
 these helpers, we can set .irq.need_valid_mask of the gpiochip before
 devm_gpiochip_add_data() or gpiochip_add_data() is called. This allocates an
 .irq.valid_mask with as many bits set as there are GPIO lines in the chip, each
 bit representing line 0..n-1. Drivers can exclude GPIO lines by clearing bits
