platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_IRQ, ..) relies on static
allocation of IRQ resources in DT core code, this causes an issue
when using hierarchical interrupt domains using "interrupts" property
in the node as this bypasses the hierarchical setup and messes up the
irq chaining.

Thanks for your patch!

In preparation for removal of static setup of IRQ resource from DT core
code use platform_get_irq_optional() for DT users only.

Why only for DT users?
Plenty of driver code shared by Renesas ARM (DT-based) on SuperH
(non-DT) SoCs already uses platform_get_irq_optional(), so I expect
that to work for both.

For the non DT users the IRQ resource is passed as a range [0] and not
a single interrupt so I went with this approach. Is there a way I'm
missing where we could still use platform_get_irq_xyz() variants for
such cases?

Oh, I didn't realize it used a single resource with a range.
Is this common, i.e. would it make sense to add support for this to
platform_get_irq_optional()?

+                               return irq ? irq : -ENXIO;

Can irq == 0 really happen?

All SuperH users of the "i2c-sh_mobile" platform device use an
evt2irq() value that is non-zero.

I might have missed something, but it seems the only user of IRQ 0 on
SuperH is smsc911x Ethernet in arch/sh/boards/board-apsh4a3a.c and
arch/sh/boards/board-apsh4ad0a.c, which use evt2irq(0x200).

I'll keep that in mind if the Ethernet driver falls in the convection
patch changes.

The Ethernet driver was converted 6 years ago, cfr. commit
965b2aa78fbcb831 ("net/smsc911x: fix irq resource allocation failure").
