Hi,
Small fix to the commit message and the reported by tag, the code stay
the same.
Thanks

=============================================
Beniamino noticed a bug that an invalid DT file for the mediatek
interrupt polarity extension will cause kernel oops.
The reason is that the interrupt polarity support for mediatek chips
merely checks for NULL pointer instead of a casted error return
value in mtk_sysirq_of_init() so any other casted error value passes
the NULL pointer check and causes a kernel panic when dereferenced.
Use IS_ERR() and return the error value via PTR_ERR().
