If you read the documentation for gpio, it is not recommended to use
irq_to_gpio. There's only a handful of users. Part of the problem is it
is platform specific and the gpio core cannot convert irq to gpio
number. Here is the relevant section:

Non-error values returned from irq_to_gpio() would most commonly be used
with gpio_get_value(), for example to initialize or update driver state
when the IRQ is edge-triggered.  Note that some platforms don't support
this reverse mapping, so you should avoid using it.
