uses of irq_to_gpio() in drivers/staging/iio

Whilst looking in drivers/staging/iio/accel/lis3l02dq_core.c, I
came across the following lines of code

708 if (spi->irq && gpio_is_valid(irq_to_gpio(spi->irq)) > 0) {
709 ret = request_threaded_irq(st->us->irq,
710 &lis3l02dq_th,
711 &lis3l02dq_event_handler,
712 IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING,
713 "lis3l02dq",
714 indio_dev);

Which gives rise to the following questions:

1) IRQ0 and GPIO0 are often valid numbers for GPIOs.

2) Not all interrupts are necessarily GPIO interrupts. What happens
if the device is attached to a hardware interrupt line which is
not a GPIO?
