[PATCH 1/2] driver core: platform: Introduce platform_get_irq_optional()

[Thierry Reding]

From: Thierry Reding <treding@xxxxxxxxxx>

In some cases the interrupt line of a device is optional. Introduce a
new platform_get_irq_optional() that works much like platform_get_irq()
but does not output an error on failure to find the interrupt.

+ * @dev: platform device
+ * @num: IRQ number index
+ *
+ * Gets an IRQ for a platform device. Device drivers should check the return
+ * value for errors so as to not pass a negative integer value to the
+ * request_irq() APIs. This is the same as platform_get_irq(), except that it
+ * does not print an error message if an IRQ can not be obtained.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *		int irq = platform_get_irq_optional(pdev, 0);
+ *		if (irq < 0)
+ *			return irq;
+ *
+ * Return: IRQ number on success, negative error number on failure.
