What do you prefer?

struct mctrl_gpios {
         struct uart_port *port;
         struct {
                 struct gpio_desc *gpio;
                 unsigned int irq;
         } mline[UART_GPIO_MAX];
};

or

struct mctrl_gpios {
         struct uart_port *port;
         struct gpio_desc *gpio[UART_GPIO_MAX];
         unsigned int irq[UART_GPIO_MAX];
};

The second one allows to save a lot of current code and make the code
shorter.
