I suggest to adjust this change description.

Wording alternative:
  The negative return value (which could eventually be “-EPROBE_DEFER”)
  will not be detected here from a failed call of the function “platform_get_irq”.

Will another fine-tuning become relevant also for this wording?

Wording alternative:
  Thus adjust the error detection and corresponding exception handling.

How do you think about to add the tags “Fixes”, “Link” and “Reported-by”?

Will such a failure predicate need any more clarification?

How does this check fit to the current software documentation?

> +		ret = udc_controller->irq ? : -ENODEV;

Will it be clearer to specify values for all cases in such a conditional operator
(instead of leaving one case empty)?
