OK patch applied for fixes.

But I'mm still very sceptical about this.

Look at the following (just from grep irq_base drivers/gpio/):

drivers/gpio/gpio-ml-ioh.c:

static int ioh_gpio_to_irq(struct gpio_chip *gpio, unsigned offset)
{
        struct ioh_gpio *chip = gpiochip_get_data(gpio);
        return chip->irq_base + offset;
}

(...)
        ch = irq - chip->irq_base;
        if (irq <= chip->irq_base + 7) {
                im_reg = &chip->reg->regs[chip->ch].im_0;
                im_pos = ch;
(...)

drivers/gpio/gpio-sta2x11.c:

static int gsta_gpio_to_irq(struct gpio_chip *gpio, unsigned offset)
{
        struct gsta_gpio *chip = gpiochip_get_data(gpio);
        return chip->irq_base + offset;
}

(etc)

The thing is that the lines you deleted from gpiolib were the only
thing ever assigning chip->irq_base. This patch, if performed
properly should have removed the .irq_base field from struct
gpio_chip altogether without regressions.

As it is not, anything using .irq_base is regressing.

Either you need to convince me you can quickfix all of these
users, or we need to simply revert this change.
