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.
