Hello,

I have taken another look at the implementation of the function âep93xx_keypad_probeâ.
A software analysis approach points the following source code out for
further development considerations.
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.6.3/source/drivers/input/keyboard/ep93xx_keypad.c#L252
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/input/keyboard/ep93xx_keypad.c?id=f5e94d10e4c468357019e5c28d48499f677b284f#n252

keypad->irq = platform_get_irq(pdev, 0);
if (!keypad->irq) {
err = -ENXIO;
goto failed_free;
}


The software documentation is providing the following information
for the used programming interface.

* Return: IRQ number on success, negative error number on failure.

Would you like to reconsider the shown condition check?
