Absolutely.

What do you think about the following changelog:

platform_get_irq() returns an error code, but the sata_rcar driver
ignores it and always returns -EINVAL. This is not correct, and
prevents -EPROBE_DEFER from being propagated properly.

Print error message and propagate the return value of platform_get_irq
on failure. Also, with this change function sata_rcar_probe() no longer
returns 0 on error.

Thank you!
