I will look into the helpers function and see what I can change here.

Regarding this, gpio-sch is actually using shared interrupts and the IRQ resources are from ACPI SCI. As per my understanding, resources from ACPI SCI might be shared for power management purposes. In this case, irq_set_chained_handler() might not be able to use here. What do you think?
