 If there is a need to exclude certain GPIO lines from the IRQ domain handled by

 many bits set as there are GPIO lines in the chip, each bit representing line
 0..n-1. Drivers can exclude GPIO lines by clearing bits from this mask. The mask
 must be filled in before gpiochip_irqchip_add() or gpiochip_irqchip_add_nested()
