This is a huge sign that the api being used here is broken.

Please fix the root cause here, if returning a 0 is an error, then have
the function you called to get this irq return an error.  Otherwise you
will have to fix ALL callers, and people will always get it wrong.

Fix the root cause here, don't paper it over.
