Where does the number 384 come from?  It looks like the driver only
needs to allocate a range of irqs and that it doesn't actually matter
what the real numbers are.  Can 0 be used instead?

Actually, I'd rather see this driver switched to using
irq_domain_add_linear so that irq_descs can be allocated on demand
instead of all at once.  That way only gpios actually used for irqs
get setup.

To convert, use irq_domain_add_linear() and then irq_data->hwirq gets
populated with the gpio number automatically for you and
irq_find_mapping takes care of the hwirq->irq reverse lookup.
