Hi Dimitri

I'm afraid I forgot to check you were handling the case of missing
interrupts in previous reviews.  The handling doesn't need to be
comprehensive but given the driver previously didn't support events
it seems likely people might not have wired them.

I think you should definitely handle 'no interrupts'
but it is probably fine to not bother with complexity of only some
of them wired unless a user actually shows up who cares about that.

See below for more on this.

What if the irq isn't wired?  We still get all the interfaces but
I assume the don't do anything.

Usual trick is to pick between two sets of channels depending on whether
the interrupts are present.

Here is is fiddly because of the 4 separate alert lines.
I think a compromise would be to have the driver only use interrupts
if all 4 are present.  If less than that are present don't register
channels with the event_spec etc.

That will require you to check for all the interrupts before starting
to register any of them which is a little messy but not too bad.

Trivial: Shouldn't need the local variable. Just pass private in directly
to your mcp9600_alert_handler()
