platform_get_irq() is a bit of a mess. Historically we allowed defining
interrupt resource with r->start == 0 and for such cases non-OF non-ACPI
code will return 0 from platform_get_irq() to indicate that IRQ is not
assigned.

We either need to stop doing this in platform_get_irq(), or the
conditions in this patch and followups should be "irq <= 0" and we need
to make sure we do not accidentally return 0 from probe ...

Thanks.
