Uses the gpiolib irqchip helpers.  For this to work, the irq setup
function is called once per bank instead of once per device.  Note
that all known uses of this block have a BCM7120 L2 interrupt
controller as a parent.  Supports interrupts for all GPIOs.

In the IRQ handler, we check for raised IRQs for invalid GPIOs and
warn (ratelimited) if they're encountered.

Also, several drivers (e.g. gpio-keys) allow for GPIOs to be
configured as wakeup sources, and this GPIO controller supports that
through a separate interrupt path.

The de-facto standard DT property "wakeup-source" is checked, since
that indicates whether the GPIO controller hardware can wake.  Uses
the IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND irq_chip flag because UPG GIO doesn't have
any of its own wakeup source configuration.

Aside regarding gpiolib irqchip helpers: It wasn't obvious (to me)
that you can have multiple chained irqchips and associated IRQ domains
for a single parent IRQ, and as long as the xlate function is written
correctly, a GPIO IRQ request end up checking the correct domain and
will get associated with the correct IRQ.  What helps make this clear
is to read
  drivers/gpio/gpiolib-of.c:
   - of_gpiochip_find_and_xlate()
   - of_get_named_gpiod_flags()
  drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:
   - gpiochip_find()
Sorry for the unclarities, this is a bit hairy. Suggestions as to
how we can make it easier and/or bring code for this into gpiolib
are welcome. Right now I have a hard time seeing any way to
make this more generic and helpful :/

Overall this patch looks real nice. Some nitpicks below.

Why should this code only execute if the node is marked
"interrupt-controller"? It makes it seem like IRQs cannot arrive
to it unless it is intended to serve other consumers.

Maybe in practice this is true, but...
+               if (priv->parent_irq >= 0) {
+                       err = brcmstb_gpio_irq_setup(pdev, bank);
+                       if (err)
+                               goto fail;
+               }
Again 0 is NO_IRQ so this should be > 0 not >= 0.
