[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.18] net: ibm: emac: mal: fix unchecked platform_get_irq return values

[ Upstream commit 8084fc9292c2b9b148c9d19d50710c488652214c ]

platform_get_irq() returns a negative errno on failure.
Commit c4f5d0454cab5 moved the platform_get_irq() calls and explicitly
removed the error checks that were previously present, claiming
devm_request_irq() can handle it. However, a negative IRQ number
passed to devm_request_irq() fails with -EINVAL instead of
propagating the real error from platform_get_irq().

Restore the missing error checks with proper errno propagation.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Those background lookups are done and match what we already concluded:

- **Git log search:** No commit with subject “fix unchecked
  platform_get_irq return values” in this tree. The only close hit was
  `40af583d16465` (exynos5 `platform_get_irq` handling), which supports
  the same error-propagation pattern but isn’t this fix.
- **b4 dig:** Returned nothing — expected, since the fix isn’t merged
  here so there’s no commit hash to trace.

Verdict unchanged: **YES** for 6.18.44 — the regression from
`c4f5d0454cab5` is present and the patch should be backported.
