Yes, but it's not that easy. If the gpio driver gets unpredictable
interrupt numbers associated to the pins, the other drivers must
recover those numbers in some way.  That's why I currently started
from 384, like the prevoous gpio driver was doing: the platform data
uses that knowledge in the drivers I'm still using internally (but are
not submittable as-is, so I'm working on them).
