So how to figure out if a device is already requesting this GPIO
on some orthogonal axis?

if (this_gpio_was_hogged_as_input_in_gpiolib) {
   ret = gpio_request_on()...
}

Is my suggestion, then you can explicitly mark which GPIOs
shall have their IRQs implicitly translated to GPIOs and
requested.

Alas, this requires the DTS:es to have this hogging added, but
it is fully backwards-compatible.

Then the applicabl OMAP drivers (like MMC) can be fixed to
do gpio_to_irq() on  their pins instead of using the IRQ
directly.
