I checked and tried running the without irq_create_mapping but it
seems the mapping is not done.
What I've seen other GPIO driver is doing is to create the mapping
during the gpio_to_irq call. However Linus suggested we are avoiding
that route, thus the use of irq_of_parse_and_map. Do you agree with my
findings?
