Rigth. It seems to be:

d->irq_chip = regmap_irq_chip;
not:
d->irq_chip = &regmap_irq_chip;

and

struct regmap_irq_chip_data {
        struct mutex lock;
        struct irq_chip irq_chip;

        struct regmap *map;
	...
};

not
struct regmap_irq_chip_data {
        struct mutex lock;
        struct irq_chip *irq_chip;

        struct regmap *map;
	...
};

I won't touch the wake thing (at least not yet) as I am not familiar
with it. Is it Ok to change it with another patch later?

Yep. That's the patch Mark did apply.
