how about "gpio_chip_hwnum()" to somewhat match irqdomain convention?

Sure, matching existing interfaces is better. "git grep hwnum" does not seem 
to reveal much related to irqdomain though?

irqdomain actually uses "hwirq". "hwgpio" would be a closer analog than
'hwnum'.  At first I though hwgpio to be too goofy, but on further
reflection it probably has the least likelyhood of getting used
incorrectly.
