Sorry I don't catch your point. If you already succeed to get gpioA2, 
then you will failed to get gpioB2 but looking at function call stack we 
could get an other issue.

Lets take example where you succeed to get gpioa2 as interrupt (using 
interrupt bindings) and now you try to do the same for gpiob2, you will 
have (roughly):

stm32_gpio_irq_request_resources (for gpiob2) --> succeed

stm32_gpio_set_type
 |
 |--> stm32_exti_set_type type -> change exti line 2 trigger registers
                                  with gpiob2 binding.

stm32_gpio_domain_activate --> failed as exti line2 is already used
			       by gpioa2.

So as stm32_gpio_set_type is called before checking than exti line is 
available, type could be changed and behavior of gpioa2 interrupt broken.

Solution would be to move the exti line mux check from 
stm32_gpio_domain_activate to  stm32_gpio_irq_request_resources callback.
