Are you requesting the gpio anywhere? If not then this is not going to
work as-is. This was discussed fairly recently [1] and the conclusion
was that the gpio needs to be requested before we can use as an interrupt.

I have not seen your latest smsc code for omap, but when you are
requesting the gpmc chip-select you should also request the gpio.

I will need to take a look at that. Is your code available anywhere so I
can test?
