Hi,

It's then contradictory to platform_get_irq documentation which
explicitly says - zero will not be returned on error. This was also
clarified in commit e330b9a6bb35 ("platform: don't return 0 from
platform_get_irq[_byname]() on error").

As I understood the input drivers code, they check for errors so the
coe in my patch is correct. Any "<=0" is not correct with current
documentation and implementation.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
