Subject: [PATCH v2] coccinelle: api: check for propagation of error from
 platform_get_irq

The error return value of platform_get_irq seems to often get dropped.

Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@...6.fr>

v2: Check for the direct return case also.  Added some mailing lists of
common offenders.
