Yes, other GPMC connected drivers may want to use it too for their chip selects.

Hmm, I don't follow you. You can have the interrupt handler
both in gpmc.c and in the nand driver with set_irq_chained_handler()
and set_irq_data(). We are doing that already in lots of places,
like gpio.c and twl4030-irq.c.

Yes would be nice to get this patch in, to me it seems that this
issue is the only blocker. It should be pretty easy change to
make.
