I did NOT mean drivers don't want an error when getting irq failed, but I just
agree that introducing another API with nowarn as you mentioned upper, then
i.MX driver can call it. For now, the FEC driver also have many such error message,
we will fix later.

So if the API with nowarn is added, then I can change the API call in some i.MX driver
instead of getting irq_count first. Do you think I should add the nowarn API and redo
this patch to call it?
