It's the same story with AT91. Here irq_to_gpio was also removed some
time ago. I believe it's the same for a lot of other ARM architectures
also.
Currently there 7 drivers that uses irq_to_gpio, these are obviously
broken on architectures that not provide the function.

I think it would be better to fix the drivers rather than resurrect
irq_to_gpio on the individual architectures.

Users of irq_to_gpio in drivers:
pata_rb532_cf, eeti_ts, egalax_ts, ezx-pcap, db1xxx_ss, tosa_battery, lis3l02dq
