acpi_gpiochip_request_interrupts() depends on ->to_irq() to be set
before acpi_gpiochip_add() is called. Since the ordering changes this
won't work anymore.

I'm thinking that could we solve this so that we call
acpi_gpiochip_request_interrupts() at the end of gpiochip_irqchip_add()
and convert both pinctrl-baytrail and gpio-lynxpoint to use
gpiochip_irqchip_add()?
