Okay, I think I get this..  Some comments:

This won't ever be NULL.  The IRQ layer stores the pointer you passed
in request_threaded_irq() and that pointer will continue to point at
that memory until the IRQ is freed.  The only way it could be NULL is
if you register using a NULL pointer.

IRQ 0 is the cross-arch "no interrupt" number.  So just use !priv->irq
here and encourage anyone who uses -1 or NO_IRQ to fix their stuff. :)

Same here.

And just initialize to zero.  (it's allocated by kzalloc already right?
So that shouldn't be necessary.)

Should be combined with tda998x_encoder_params - the platform data is
really supposed to be passed to set_config - see this in drm_encoder_slave.c:

 * If @info->platform_data is non-NULL it will be used as the initial
 * slave config.
...
        err = encoder_drv->encoder_init(client, dev, encoder);
        if (err)
                goto fail_unregister;

        if (info->platform_data)
                encoder->slave_funcs->set_config(&encoder->base,
                                                 info->platform_data);

So any platform data set will be passed into the set_config function...
