Thanks for your reminder, and I correct my commit message as follow. If that's ok, I will correct my other patches like this.
For the possible failure of the platform_get_irq(), the returned irq could be error number and will finally cause the failure of the request_irq(). So it might be better to check just now in order to avoid the waste of later processes.
Sincerely thanks, Jiasheng
