Some off-chip GPIO expanders need to be communicated by I2C or SPI traffic, but may still support IRQs. By the sleeping nature of such buses, such IRQ handlers need to be threaded. Support such handlers in the gpiochip irqchip helpers by flagging IRQs as threaded if the .can_sleep property of the gpiochip is true. Helpfully deny registration of chained IRQ handlers if the .can_sleep property is set, as such chips will invariably need a nested handler rather than a chained handler.
