Then maybe do that really first? I didn't recheck, but is this what the
driver changes in your patch is about?
After some more thoughts I wonder if your focus isn't to align
platform_get_irq_optional to (clk|gpiod|regulator)_get_optional, but to
simplify return code checking. Because with your change we have:
- < 0 -> error
- == 0 -> no irq
- > 0 -> irq
For my part I'd say this doesn't justify the change, but at least I
could better life with the reasoning. If you start at:
irq = platform_get_irq_optional(...)
if (irq < 0 && irq != -ENXIO)
return irq
else if (irq > 0)
setup_irq(irq);
else
setup_polling()
I'd change that to
irq = platform_get_irq_optional(...)
if (irq > 0) /* or >= 0 ? */
setup_irq(irq)
else if (irq == -ENXIO)
setup_polling()
else
return irq
This still has to mention -ENXIO, but this is ok and checking for 0 just
hardcodes a different return value.
Anyhow, I think if you still want to change platform_get_irq_optional
you should add a few patches converting some drivers which demonstrates
the improvement for the callers.
Best regards
Uwe
