In drivers/irqchip/irq-atmel-aic-common.c I see:

ret = irq_alloc_domain_generic_chips(domain, 32, 1, name,
handle_level_irq, 0, 0,
IRQCHIP_SKIP_SET_WAKE);

and IRQCHIP_SKIP_SET_WAKE is (1 << 4), same as IRQ_GC_BE_IO.

Is it possible that the caller is passing values intended for
irq_chip->flags into a function expecting
irq_domain_chip_generic->gc_flags ?
