That is not going to work, that patch uses gpiochip_irqchip_add,
which in turn uses gpiochip_to_irq as to_irq handler, which
assumes that gpio offset == irq offset, which is not true for
sunxi-pinctrl.

Specifically gpio_chio_to_irq does:

static int gpiochip_to_irq(struct gpio_chip *chip, unsigned offset)
{
         return irq_find_mapping(chip->irqdomain, offset);
}

Where as the sunxi code does (simplified):

static int sunxi_pinctrl_gpio_to_irq(struct gpio_chip *chip, unsigned offset)
{
	struct sunxi_desc_function *desc = sunxi_pinctrl_desc_find_function_by_pin(pctl, offset, "irq");
	return irq_find_mapping(pctl->domain, desc->irqnum);\
}

Note the extra level of indirection.
