Should callers of platform_get_irq() check for a 0 return value? About 900 of them do not. Or should platform_get_irq() return a negative error instead of 0? If 0 is not a valid interrupt, I think it would be easier to use the interface if we made it so platform_get_irq() could never return 0, which I think would also fit the interface documentation better: * Return: IRQ number on success, negative error number on failure.
