Can you please point me to the discussion/patch where this API change
is considered/discussed. Just to clarify now the new API for
platform_get_irq_optional() will return "0" in case there is no
interrupt and not not -ENXIO anymore?

When will this patch be merged for the new api, so that I can base my
patches on top of it to avoid more changes?

Cheers,
Prabhakar
