    OK, it took me a while to figure this back out again because as far as
    I'm familiar with the IRQ framework you're right. The reason I'm not
    using irq_set_chained_handler is that we have one driver instance per
    GPIO bank and all GPIO banks share the same interrupt line. This means
    every driver instance needs its own (different) user data and a simple
    call to irq_set_handler_data(tb10x_gpio) won't suffice. I'm not aware of
    any mechanism that allows interrupt sharing with the
    irq_set_chained_handler() mechanism.

    Greetings,
    Christian
