[2/2] ARM: OMAP4+: PRM: fix of_irq_get() result checks

What IRQ domain did you consider? In case of STRICT the mapping will
be 1:1 and 0 is _valid_ IRQ number for hwirq.

of_irq_get() returns virtual IRQ #'s, no? And for those 0 is considered non-valid by Linus (I personally don't agree with that).

0 in Linux kernel IRQ numbering often means NO_IRQ.

   NO_IRQ was "considered harmful" AFAIK. :-)

But there might be exceptions.

So, it would be nice to see if there is a problem on certain platform
if the patch is not applied, or is it problem on OF IRQ code, or
wrong interpratation of 0?

of_irq_get() is certainly problematic with its returning both 0 and negative error # on failure. I tried to fix that back in 2016 but that patch got shot down:

I've now audited all the call sites of of_irq_get() and that resulted in a number of fixes.
