It is a hardware number. eg, to mask irq for the gpio 0 above, we have
to set bit49 in EINT mask_set register. When this irq triggered, it is
reported using EINT status register bit49.

We can find out EINT number for a GPIO using mtk_desc_pin tables. In
drivers/pinctrl/mediatek/pinctrl-mtk-mt8135.h, for GPIO0, we can see its
EINT is 49 and must set to function 2 for EINT. I believe this is
similar to sunxi.

        MTK_PIN(
                PINCTRL_PIN(0, "MSDC0_DAT7"),
                "D21", "mt8135",
                MTK_EINT_FUNCTION(2, 49),
                MTK_FUNCTION(0, "GPIO0"),
                MTK_FUNCTION(1, "MSDC0_DAT7"),
                MTK_FUNCTION(2, "EINT49"),
                MTK_FUNCTION(3, "I2SOUT_DAT"),
                MTK_FUNCTION(4, "DAC_DAT_OUT"),
                MTK_FUNCTION(5, "PCM1_DO"),
                MTK_FUNCTION(6, "SPI1_MO"),
                MTK_FUNCTION(7, "NALE")
        ),
