Because with your change we have:

 - < 0 -> error
 - == 0 -> no irq
 - > 0 -> irq

For my part I'd say this doesn't justify the change, but at least I
could better life with the reasoning. If you start at:

	irq = platform_get_irq_optional(...)
	if (irq < 0 && irq != -ENXIO)
		return irq
	else if (irq > 0)
		setup_irq(irq);
	else
		setup_polling()

I'd change that to

	irq = platform_get_irq_optional(...)
	if (irq > 0) /* or >= 0 ? */
		setup_irq(irq)
	else if (irq == -ENXIO)
		setup_polling()
	else
		return irq

This still has to mention -ENXIO, but this is ok and checking for 0 just
hardcodes a different return value.
It's what we are against of. The idea is to have

	irq = platform_get_irq_optional(...)
	if (irq < 0) // we do not care about special cookies here
		return irq;

	if (irq)
		setup_irq(irq)
	else
		setup_polling()

See the difference? Your code is convoluted.
   ... and it's longer when you look at the translated code! :-)
