The irq2pcap[] array looks horrible to me. It's actually a sparse array.
Isn't there a nice 1:1 mapping using a formular??

Besides, the IRQ numbering scheme has now changed to a more generic way,
I suggest to pull from Russell's latest git tree and rebase the IRQ
part.

The following block of code:

+	if (pcap_data->cs >= 0) {
+		if (machine_is_ezx_a780() || machine_is_ezx_e680())
+			gpio_direction_output(pcap_data->cs, 1);
+		else
+			gpio_direction_output(pcap_data->cs, 0);
+	}

has 3 occurrences in the driver (2 in ezx_ssp_pcap_putget, 1 in ezx_pcap_probe)
which is good reason to fold this into the platform data.

Well, if the above is done in platform data, I guess you won't mind another bit
flag (e.g. PCAP_REDIRECT_IRQ or something alike) added in platform data, either
