That seems wrong; the GPIO/IRQ driver should handle this internally. The
Ethernet driver shouldn't know/care whether the interrupt it's given is
some form of dedicated interrupt or a GPIO-based interrupt, and even if
it somehow did, there's no irq_to_gpio() any more, so the driver can't
tell which GPIO ID it should request, unless it's given yet another
property to represent this.
