irqs are unsigned. Some functions returning an irq use "int", but
depending on who you ask this only for error reporting or a relict.
Use 0 for invalid/unused in mctrl_gpio*.

I'm not sure this is allowed. How do you handle request_irq failing? (I
just checked: you don't.) Consider another thread just doing
request_irq($yourirq, ...) between

	irq_set_status_flags(irq[i], IRQ_NOAUTOEN);

and

	err = request_irq(irq[i], ...

.
