No, that's the responsibility of whoever is setting this up.

Normally, platform setup code would request the GPIO since it's
being dedicated to some task on the board ... and then pass the
gpio_to_irq() value as a device resource, or maybe the GPIO itself
(if the driver had to deal with GPIOs per se).

Also, irq_to_gpio() can be problematic in some systems; avoid it.

Remove that gpio_request(), and the irq_to_gpio(), and you get:

The driver is a trifle unusual in having only eight bits per bank,
but that's just hardware.  Software looks clean, thanks.
