That's very likely. GPIO interrupt controllers tend to be available
quite late in the boot sequence.

That is what Rob's patch fixes: it ensures that the interrupt specifier
is resolved (turned into a Linux IRQ) when you call platform_get_irq.

What your stack trace shows is that the failure occurs at boot time,
when of_platform_populate() parses the DT and creates the platform
devices. As part of this process, it tries to resolves the interrupt
specifiers, but fails to do so for this particular device, since the
corresponding irqchip and domain have not been created yet (the GPIO
controller is itself a device, while other irqchips are not).

But as long as your device driver uses platform_get_irq(), you will
force the interrupt specifier to be evaluated again, this time giving
you a valid interrupt (and provided that your GPIO driver has
initialized in the meantime - check for -EPROBE_DEFER). At some point,
we'll be able to kill the interrupt resolution from
of_platform_populate().

To summarize, your driver not working may not be related to this issue.

Hope this helps,
