Because of the possible failure of the platform_get_irq(), it should be
better to check it to avoid the use of error irq.
As far as I can see, the only "use" of error values is that they will be 
passed to request_irq(), which will then return -EINVAL because they are 
not valid IRQ numbers, and that error will be handled appropriately. I 
think that's a relatively common pattern, so your commit message should 
really describe why you think it's a problem and why this addition is a 
meaningful improvement.
Thanks for your reminder, and I correct my commit message as follow.
If that's ok, I will correct my other patches like this.

For the possible failure of the platform_get_irq(), the returned irq
could be error number and will finally cause the failure of the request_irq().
So it might be better to check just now in order to avoid the waste of
later processes.

Sincerely thanks,
Jiasheng
