Thinking more about this, shouldn't this change go into platform_get_irq()
instead of platform_get_irq_optional() ?
The way I see it, I think that the intended behavior for
platform_get_irq_optional() is:
1) If have IRQ, return it, always > 0
2) If no IRQ, return 0
3) If error, return < 0
no ?
And for platform_get_irq(), case (2) becomes an error.
Is this the intended semantic ?
I am really not sure here as the functions kdoc description and the code do not
match. Which one is correct ?
