There is no need to check whether the return value is zero as
`platform_get_irq()` only returns non-zero IRQ number on success
or negative error number on failure, removing them to solve this
problem.
Is that check valid? 0 was a valid interrupt for some architectures...

We just follow the comments of platform_get_irq().

/**
 * platform_get_irq - get an IRQ for a device
 * @dev: platform device
 * @num: IRQ number index
 *
 * Gets an IRQ for a platform device and prints an error message if finding the
 * IRQ fails. Device drivers should check the return value for errors so as to
 * not pass a negative integer value to the request_irq() APIs.
 *
 * For example::
 *
 *              int irq = platform_get_irq(pdev, 0);
 *              if (irq < 0)
 *                      return irq;
 *
 * Return: non-zero IRQ number on success, negative error number on failure.

int platform_get_irq(struct platform_device *dev, unsigned int num)

                return dev_err_probe(&dev->dev, ret,
