The error return value of platform_get_irq seems to often get dropped.

v2: Check for the direct return case also.  Added some mailing lists of
common offenders.

Well, this seems to also cover the (e <= 0) checks which do make same sense in the light of Linus considering IRQ0 invalid. So I'd be more specific about the checks here -- 0 should indeed be overridden with something if it's considered invalid.
