I should say for drivers, IRQs are retrieved by a bus specific method, not DT functions. There are 3 cases of drivers using them: arch/arm/mach-omap2/prm3xxx.c: irq_num = of_irq_get(np, 0); arch/arm/mach-omap2/prm44xx.c: irq_num = of_irq_get(prm_init_data->np, 0); drivers/pinctrl/sirf/pinctrl-atlas7.c: ret = of_irq_get(np, idx); >> > Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@xxxxxxxxx> >> > --- >> > >> > The intent is to it like this: >> > >> > if (of_has_named_irqs(np) { >> > /* Wake IRQ is optional */ >> > dev->wakeirq = of_irq_get_byname(np, "wakeup"); >> > if (dev->wakeirq < 0 && dev->wakeirq != -ENODATA) >> > return dev->wakeirq; >> > } >> >> of_irq_get_byname will already return an error if the property is not >> present.

It may be useful to distinguish between those cases. If you want audit all the callers we could possibly change it though. Really, I don't understand why you would care about any error code other than EPROBE_DEFER. If it is optional, then you would want to continue no matter what is returned.
