platform_get_irq() will return 0 only for sparc, If sparc initialize 
platform
data irq[PROMINTR_MAX] as zero. Otherwise platform_get_irq() will never 
return
0. It will return either IRQ number or error (as negative number). But I 
am getting
review comment by reviewer/maintainer in other subsystem to add check for
zero. So I have done same changes here. Please correct me if i am wrong.
