Thinking again about what I've tried, I might have make the failure to
add the interrupt-parent line to the mmc-section (where the gpio was
specified) and not to the gpio(-controller) section where it might have
belong too (again, there was no example and no documentation).

But why I again bother you all with another mail, is that I don't like
the fact that the irq-flags might have to be specified in the DT and the
source (and they have to match).

A solution might be to use the flags specified in the DT for the
particular irq and ignore the flags specified as parameter to
request_irq(). At least as long as DT isn't mandatory. And in the
future, the flags could just be removed from the call to request_irq()
depending (then visible too) only on the flags as specified in the DT.
