That is the plan. For drivers like mxs-auart (that do irq handling) this
is just simplification. When the irq handling is missing converting to
the new mctrl_gpio_init might introduce regressions because it does
request_irq which might fail.

Right, if there are no gpios specified (new and old) mctrl_gpio is a
nop.
