Subject: [PATCH 1/2] drivers: fwnode: fix fwnode_irq_get_byname()

The fwnode_irq_get_byname() does return 0 upon device-tree IRQ mapping
failure. This is contradicting the function documentation and can
potentially be a source of errors like:

int probe(...) {
	...

	irq = fwnode_irq_get_byname();
	if (irq <= 0)
		return irq;

	...
}

Here we do correctly check the return value from fwnode_irq_get_byname()
but the driver probe will now return success. (There was already one
such user in-tree).

Change the fwnode_irq_get_byname() to work as documented and according to
the common convention and abd always return a negative errno upon failure.

Fixes: ca0acb511c21 ("device property: Add fwnode_irq_get_byname")

I did a quick audit for the callers at v6.1-rc2:
drivers/i2c/i2c-smbus.c
drivers/iio/accel/adxl355_core.c
drivers/iio/gyro/fxas21002c_core.c
drivers/iio/imu/adis16480.c
drivers/iio/imu/bmi160/bmi160_core.c
drivers/iio/imu/bmi160/bmi160_core.c

I did not spot any errors to be caused by this change. There will be a
functional change in i2c-smbus.c as the probe will now return -EINVAL
should the IRQ dt-mapping fail. It'd be nice if this was checked to be
Ok by the peeps knowing the i2c-smbus :)
