I did implement gpio_to_irq() like this in the PMIC gpio/mpp drivers and
we've since concluded that we need to move this to some hierarchical
interrupt controller, because people like Linus expect to be able to say

  interrupts = <&gpio_controller 1 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING> 

which is something used all over the place with the TLMM driver today.
