A possible compromise: We can have both. We rename
platform_get_irq_optional() to platform_get_irq_silent() (or
platform_get_irq_silently() if this is preferred) and once all users are
are changed (which can be done mechanically), we reintroduce a
platform_get_irq_optional() with Sergey's suggested semantic (i.e.
return 0 on not-found, no error message printking).
Please do not do that as anyone trying to forward-port an old driver
will miss the abi change of functionality and get confused.  Make
build-breaking changes, if the way a function currently works is
changed in order to give people a chance.
Fine for me. I assume this is a Nack for Sergey's patch?

Best regards
Uwe
