Oh, when I clicked that link the first time, all I saw was the patch,
not any discussion. I guess it must have timed out finding the other
emails or something.

I disagree that the GPIO needs to be requested, and that a custom DT
property and associated code are needed for that; simply requesting the
IRQ should be enough to make everything work.

In the Tegra GPIO IRQ driver for example, the irq_set_type irq_chip op
goes and configures the base GPIO HW to enable the pin as a GPIO, just
like gpio_request() would. I imagine the OMAP driver can do whatever
similar action it needs.
