Not to forget that it would/will be a big problem, if you will forbid
drivers to use gpio_request() when they use the gpio as irq (as it
was/is necessary now).

With my kernel 3.10.4 with some patches on top, I see
# git grep gpio_to_irq | wc -l
678

So there are a lot of places where

gpio_request();
gpio_direction_input()
request_irq();

would have been changed to

#ifdef CONFIG_OF_GPIO
gpio_request();
gpio_direction_input()
#endif
request_irq();

to not fail during runtime (hopefully with some descriptive error
message if it fails).

Alexander Holler
