My interpretation is that I mistakenly set the .nr_irqs value for
craggamore to include all irqs that the board has, while the
wm831x tries to allocate the irq descriptors itself and fails if
they are already allocated. If that is the only problem here, it
would get fixed by this change:

The samsung-gpio driver does not allocate irq descriptors for itself
though, otherwise we could make the S3C64XX_NR_IRQS number smaller.
