No, you're not wrong.

Historically (in my patches) xb8500_irq_get_virq() was used by drivers
to obtain a VIRQ when not using Device Tree. Now the MFD core handles
conversion there is little requirement for it. In fact there are no
more users for db8500_irq_get_virq() and only one user for
ab8500_irq_get_virq() and that's itself. I guess we can rid them and
call irq_get_mapping() directly instead.
