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.
Thinking more about this, shouldn't this change go into platform_get_irq() instead of platform_get_irq_optional() ? The way I see it, I think that the intended behavior for platform_get_irq_optional() is: 1) If have IRQ, return it, always > 0 2) If no IRQ, return 0 3) If error, return < 0 no ? And for platform_get_irq(), case (2) becomes an error. Is this the intended semantic ? I am really not sure here as the functions kdoc description and the code do not match. Which one is correct ?

Otherwise, I do not think that removing the "if (!irq)" hunk is safe. no ?Of course it isn't...quoted
