Yes, that's how dt users use irq. But since I'm trying to make the
imx gpio irq_domain as linear for both non-dt and dt users. Calling
irq_create_mapping here may make sense for me, since it will not
require all these non-dt users change the way they use gpio irq.

Even for dt users, there may have some case that can not work in the
way we expect.

soc {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
compatible = "simple-bus";
interrupt-parent = <&tzic>;
ranges;

esdhc@70008000 { /* ESDHC2 */
compatible = "fsl,imx51-esdhc";
reg = <0x70008000 0x4000>;
interrupts = <2>;
cd-gpios = <&gpio1 6 0>;
wp-gpios = <&gpio1 5 0>;
};
};

In above SD example, irq_of_parse_and_map will just work out the SD
controller internal irq to tzic. How can we work out the card-detection
irq to gpio controller in the same way?
