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.

(...)
irq = platform_get_irq(pdev, 0);

+ if (irq < 0)

This is wrong.
For an in-depth explanation why irq 0 in not valid, see:

Thank you for sharing this Articles. It's really helpful.

It should be:

if (irq <= 0)
return irq ? irq : -EINVAL;

Please update and resubmit. If you have more patches like this,
correct them too.
I will resubmit patch.
Yours,
