For ACPI devices, this changes the return code for a missing interrupt
0 from ENXIO to ENOENT, because acpi_dev_gpio_irq_get() uses ENOENT
instead of ENXIO. While ENXIO isn't exactly documented as the *specific*
error code for a missing interrupt in platform_get_irq(), there are
definitely drivers out there that are looking specifically for ENXIO
(grepping the tree finds several Rockchip platform drivers and a few
ethernet drivers at a minimum). And it also incidentally broke some
usage of the very driver you were trying to support
(drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec_lpc.c).

I suspect a good strategy here would be to check
acpi_dev_gpio_irq_get()'s return codes here with something like:

	if (ret > 0 || ret == -EPROBE_DEFER)
		return ret;
	return -ENXIO;

Although, the gpiolib functions embedded in there also can return EIO,
so maybe something like this is better?

	if (ret == -ENOENT || ret == 0)
		return -ENXIO;
	return ret;

I'm kinda unsure what to do with error codes besides PROBE_DEFER or
"missing", since most users don't really have it in their mind that
platform_get_irq() can fail with EIO or similar.
