Still not right.

		err = keypad->irq < 0 ? keypad->irq : -ENXIO;

would have the right effect.

However, I disagree with the idea of making platform_get_irq() return
an error if there is a zero irq specified as suggested in a previous
review - zero means "not present" and that is not necessarily an error -
it's up to the driver to decide whether it can proceed without an
interrupt, or whether it should error out on the probe function.
