IRQ 0 being invalid, I think that case should be dealt with internally within platform_get_irq_optional() and warn/error return. IRQ 0 showing up would thus be case (3), an error. > >> 3) If error, return < 0 >> no ? > > I completely agree, I (after thinking a bit) have no issues with that... > >> And for platform_get_irq(), case (2) becomes an error. >> Is this the intended semantic ? > > I don't see how it's different from the current behavior. But we can do > that as well, I just don't see whether it's really better... The problem I see is that the current behavior is unclear: what does platform_get_irq_optional() returning 0 mean ? IRQ == 0 ? or "no IRQ" ? I think it should be the latter rather than the former. Note that the function could return ENOENT (or similar) for the "no IRQ" case. With that, case (2) goes away, but then I do not see any difference between platform_get_irq_optional() and platform_get_irq(). If the preferred API semantic is to allow returning IRQ 0 with a warning, then the kdoc comments of platform_get_irq_optional() and platform_get_irq() are totally broken, and the code for many drivers is probably wrong too. > >> I am really not sure here as the functions kdoc description and the code do not >> match.
