I don't think this part is correct.  You will want to set bt_bmc->irq to
rc here to match what is done elsewhere so it's the error if negative.

Also, I believe this function should no longer return an error.  It
should just set the irq to the error if one happens.  The driver needs
to continue to operate even if it can't get its interrupt.

The rest of the changes are correct, I believe.
