Yeah my guess is that the reason for the separate GPIO interrupt was
that on omap3 we did not have SDIO interrupt working for years. This was
because of the issues related to padconf interrupts for off mode.

We now have Linux generic wakeirq support working with SDIO and it has
been confirmed to work also for off mode with mwifiex at least. So
there should be no reason to not also use the SDIO interrupt.
