Thanks for your reminder, and I correct my commit message as follow.
If that's ok, I will correct my other patches like this.

For the possible failure of the platform_get_irq(), the returned irq
could be error number and will finally cause the failure of the request_irq().
So it might be better to check just now in order to avoid the waste of
later processes.

Sincerely thanks,
