Also, your commit log is wrong in the description of how to handle the result:

<<
Now:
ret = platform_get_irq_optional(...);
if (ret != -ENXIO)
return ret; // respect deferred probe
if (ret > 0)
...we get an IRQ...
>>

The (ret != -ENXIO) check also succeeds on the (positive) IRQ #s, so the
following code becomes unreachable. :-/
