Do you mean mapping irqs based on the GPMC_IRQSTATUS register
bits? If so, that's pretty much how all the GPIO drivers
handle them. We can have a SoC specific irqmask of the valid
bits passed from the dts files, and if necessary we can also
add custom SoC specific IRQ handlers to the GPMC driver if
needed.

The idea is that the NAND driver can just request the irq
from the GPMC driver and do whatever it wants with the
interrupt.
