Yes the above should be added to the changelog.

Looks like someone should update the following for consistency too ...

141 int platform_irq_count(struct platform_device *dev)
142 {
143         int ret, nr = 0;
144
145         while ((ret = platform_get_irq(dev, nr)) >= 0)
146                 nr++;
