platform_get_irq() will print a message when it fails.
No need to repeat this.

While at it, drop redundant check for 0 as platform_get_irq() spills
out a big WARN() in such case.
The reason you should be able to remove the "if (!irq)" test is that
platform_get_irq() never returns 0. At least, that is what the function kdoc
says. But looking at platform_get_irq_optional(), which is called by
platform_get_irq(), the out label is:

	WARN(ret == 0, "0 is an invalid IRQ number\n");
	return ret;

So 0 will be returned as-is. That is rather weird. That should be fixed to
return -ENXIO:

	if (WARN(ret == 0, "0 is an invalid IRQ number\n"))
		return -ENXIO;
	return ret;
   My unmerged patch (https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=163623041902285) does this
but returns -EINVAL instead.

Otherwise, I do not think that removing the "if (!irq)" hunk is safe. no ?
   Of course it isn't...
It's unsubstantiated statement. The vIRQ 0 shouldn't be returned by any of
those API calls. If it is the case, go and fix them, no need to workaround
in each of the callers.
