That would mean that each board using the driver have to
add this code. I'd prefer to do it in the driver itself
to reduce code duplication.

Since we already have platform data and can't get rid of it now,
adding gpio entry and mapping to irq would be better.

In the long term switching to device tree configuration would be
the right way to go, I think. But for now we have to wait until
arch/platform code is converted to device tree usage.
