I can't see anything which makes use of the separate error code in
that patch.

It was suggested by Will in response to above mentioned patch.

<bikeshedding> I reckon -ENODEV is clearer here. </bikeshedding>

Also, there's a counterpart to this code in request_threaded_irq, where I
think we should do something similar.

I looked at the issue as "operation not allowed since interrupt is
non-percpu" and I found below comment for EPERM in
'include/uapi/asm-generic/errno-base.h' . So thought this error code
could be more fitting.

#define EPERM            1      /* Operation not permitted */

So in request_threaded_irq, we would still keep the WARN_ON for percpu
interrupt and return a different error code. Is my understanding
correct?

Please ignore my this comment.
If we do something similar in request_threaded_irq then we will have
to remove WARN_ON for percpu interrupt.
