[PATCH] spi/bcm63xx: fix error return code in bcm63xx_spi_probe()

platform_get_irq() returns an error code, but the spi-bcm63xx driver
ignores it and always returns -ENXIO. This is not correct and,
prevents -EPROBE_DEFER from being propagated properly.

Notice that platform_get_irq() no longer returns 0 on error:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e330b9a6bb35dc7097a4f02cb1ae7b6f96df92af

Print and propagate the return value of platform_get_irq on failure.

This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
