The platform_get_irq() function returns negative if an error occurs.
zero or positive number on success. platform_get_irq() error checking
for zero is not correct.

The why you consider returning 0 a sign of failure?
Here, Returning 0 is a problem. Because IRQ0 is always a problem.
This function is for getting an IRQ for a device. So we should check for
0 also.
