Ah, you're suggesting separating the platform_get_irq() and the
request_irq() so that we call platform_get_irq() as the first thing in
the function but don't do the request_irq() until later.  Yeah, that
could be done and I guess if you feel strongly about it I wouldn't
object to the change, but I don't feel it buys us a lot and I kind of
like keeping the two next to each other.  Specifically why I don't
think it buys us a lot:

1. You still need the "dev_err" print, right?  platform_get_irq()
doesn't automatically print errors for you I think.

2. You now need a local variable "irq".  By putting the
platform_get_irq() before the memory allocation you now can't store it
directly in mas->irq.  We could try using "ret" as a temporary
variable but that seems worse in this case since it'd be a bit
fragile.

3. You don't get rid of any error labels / error handling so we don't
really save any code

When I tried this my diffstat says 8 lines added and 7 removed, so a
net increase in LOC FWIW.  I'm relying in gmail so my patch will be
whitespace-damaged (sigh), but you can find a clean one at:
