platform_get_irq_optional() returns a positive IRQ number on success or
a negative error code on failure. For an optional IRQ, -ENXIO indicates
that no optional IRQ is available. Other errors, such as -EPROBE_DEFER
and -EINVAL, should be propagated so that the caller can handle them
appropriately.

Propagate negative errors other than -ENXIO.

The driver works without interrupts, and there may be cases where
-EINVAL or -EPROBE_DEFER gets returned due to invalid configuration.
This will break those systems.

So no.
