It is a well known problems that the kernel contain many bad
examples. When in doubt ask for a good example to be provided.

In gpio-omap.c you will find that this is done in the probe()
path.

Yes. The reason is that it should be possible to reques an IRQ
from an irqchip no matter whether the gpio_to_irq() function
was called first, as the APIs are orthogonal.
