Please fix ezx-pcap instead - it's broken as it currently stands by using
irq_to_gpio(), and it's one reason why my randconfig builds on OMAP fail.

The big problem is - what does this do:

        do {
...
        } while (gpio_get_value(irq_to_gpio(pcap->spi->irq)));

if pcap->spi->irq has no GPIO associated with the interrupt?  irq_to_gpio()
probably returns some random number which might be some other GPIO in the
system, and gpio_get_value() could oops if irq_to_gpio returns a negative
or large positive number.  To put it another way, according to the above
code, irq_to_gpio() must always return a valid gpio for the IRQ even if
the IRQ doesn't have a GPIO associated with it.

This is a fine illustration of why irq_to_gpio() is just plain broken in
its design.
