Where we would run into (minor) problems is if the interrupt parent for 
the first mmc0 is the GPIO controller. More generally, if &pioD has 
interrupt children specified in some way that is not a <pin, active 
high/whatever> tuple somewhere else in the tree then you would have to 
have methods to parse both interrupt specifiers 
as-obtained-from-interrupts-properties (or equivalent) and specifiers 
as-obtained-from-gpio-properties. If the tree picks one format and 
sticks with it, you can get away with just the one. Glancing through the 
DTS source for this board, that doesn't appear to be the case and the 
property formatting is uniform, but I might have missed something in one 
of the many #includes.

As a general point, GPIO weirdness would be easy enough case to handle 
if it did come up (add some mapping method, as above) that I think we 
shouldn't worry too much about it from an architectural point of view. 
If a board appears that is set up this way, we can roll with the punches 
at that point and add whatever small amount of shim code that is 
required. It would be annoyance, sure, but not a real complication.
