This is really backward. You want to keep the lower bits, so just do
that instead of masking out the top bits. This will also work if (x)
suddenly becomes a 64bit quantity. Something like:

#define TINT_EXTRACT_HWIRQ(x)		FIELD_GET(GENMASK(15, 0), (x))


> +#define TINT_EXTRACT_GPIOINT(x)		((x) >> 16)

Same thing. Please write it as:

#define TINT_EXTRACT_GPIOINT(x)		FIELD_GET(GENMASK(31, 16), (x))

You should now be able to make this struct const.

An allocation for something that would readily fit in the pointer?
Just the metadata costs you more than the data you are storing... I'd
rather you cast the data back and forth, which simplifies everything.
And you can make it an unsigned long, which is guaranteed to have the
same size as a pointer.

Why the intermediate variable?

Is there any case where you would need this when d is NULL?

Since you are implementing this as a platform driver, consider
converting this to the devm_* helpers (you can obtain the device
structure via of_find_device_by_node()).
