First, I agree that the dev_warn() is unnecessary.

On the "<" versus "<=" issue is something I've commented on before.

It's true that 0 is not (or should not be) a valid IRQ number.  But
at one time a several years back I couldn't convince myself that it
100% could not happen.  I no longer remember the details, and it
might not have even been in this particular case (i.e., return
from platform_get_irq()).

I do see that a85a6c86c25be ("driver core: platform: Clarify that
IRQ 0 is invalid)" got added in 2020, and it added a WARN_ON()
in platform_get_irq_optional() before returning the IRQ number if
it's zero.  So in this case, if it *did* happen to return 0,
you'd at least get a warning.

So given that you'll get a warning on a bogus 0 IRQ number, I have
no problem with this part of the patch either.
