No, if you fail to acquire interrupt that was described in ACPI/DT it
should be treated as an error, like this:

	if (client->irq) {
		error = devm_request_threaded_irq(...)
		if (error)
			return dev_err_probe(...);
	} else {
		.. set up polling ..
	}

This also makes sure that if interrupt controller is not ready and
requests probe deferral we will not end up with device in polling mode.

Thanks.
