You ask the system for it.  It depends on the bus type your driver is
written for for how to do this.

For example, if you have a platform driver, you would call
platform_get_irq().  If you are a pci driver, the irq for your device is
already stored in the pci device structure passed into your probe
function.

What bus type is your driver written for?
