It can't really be zero.  On some of the other patches there was a tests
failure and success.  So if we're testing for < 0 then a test for >= 0
felt more complete.

But here it was like, testing for > 0 won't break anything that isn't
already broken.  It's easier to review.

Somebody has a Coccinelle test for:

	irq = platform_get_irq(pdev, 0);
	if (!irq)
		return -ENODEV;

But I implemented it in Smatch just for fun.  It turns out people had
introduced a couple new bugs recently.  Also the it appears that their
Coccinelle test does not warn about for success tests like this one.
And there are still a bunch of test that do:

	if (irq <= 0)
		return irq ?: -ENODEV;

But testing for zero is dead code so I didn't bother cleaning it up.
