Hi Brown,

First, we're sorry about the fact that our internal robot(beta) made a 
mistake and sent our testing message to LKML. We have fixed the 
incorrect logic.

Second, from code review of platform_get_irq / 
platform_get_irq_optional, it would warn IRQ 0 as an invalid IRQ number.

out:
	if (WARN(!ret, "0 is an invalid IRQ number\n"))
		return -EINVAL;
	return ret;
