Hi Judith,

it seems that with this change irq is only set in the first arm of
the above conditional. But later on it is used unconditionally.
That is, it may be used uninitialised.

Reported by gcc-12 as:

 drivers/net/can/m_can/m_can_platform.c: In function 'm_can_plat_probe':
 drivers/net/can/m_can/m_can_platform.c:150:30: warning: 'irq' may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
   150 |         mcan_class->net->irq = irq;
       |         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~
 drivers/net/can/m_can/m_can_platform.c:86:13: note: 'irq' was declared here
    86 |         int irq, ret = 0;
       |             ^~~
