The HW specs is obviously counting the IRQ number at the GIC interface.
That offset is not known outside the MPUSS. Please have a look at the 
OMAP4430 TRM p4761 (NDA vM version).
FWIW, the same numbering scheme is used on tegra2.

My proposal is just to handle the addition within the irq_domain_to_irq, 
so I'm not sure to understand your concern.
