The examples I had seen before were all just ranges of two interrupts,
and in those cases it was clear that splitting them would be best.
In the exampled of the ab8500-gpio driver, it looks like the resource is
not actually being used, and the gpio driver implements its own irq_chip,
so maybe we can get away with not solving this problem for now.
