Hi Oleksij,

thanks for your patch!

I would attempt to get the IRQ from the GPIO if not defined explicitly
in the device tree.

priv->gpio = devm_gpiod_get_optional(...)
if (priv->gpio) {
    /* Attempt to look up IRQ */
    irq = gpiod_to_irq(priv->irq);
}
priv->irq = platfform_get_irq(...)
if (priv->irq < 0 && irq > 0) {
    /* Use the GPIO-related IRQ */
    priv->irq = irq;
} else if (priv->irq < 0) {
   /* Error */
}

This way the example in the device tree binding which only defines
a GPIO and no interrupt will work if the GPIO chip provides an
IRQ mapping.

Yours.
