Handling multiple GPIO controllers in 8xxx GPIO driver

Hi,
Looks like 8xxx GPIO driver cannot properly handle interrupts
when multiple GPIO controllers exist in the system.
On Freescale P1022 there are 3 GPIO controllers. All 3 use
the same interrupt line, internal interrupt 31. If all controllers
are defined in device tree set_irq_chained_handler() is invoked
3 times with same hardware irq number. The result is interrupt
storm, mpc8xxx_gpio_irq_cascade() is invoked indefinitely.
What would be the best way to fix the problem ?
Thanks.
Felix Radensky.
