The "atcrtc_dev->alarm_irq" variable is an unsigned int but it needs to
be signed for the error handling to work.  Use the "ret" variable
instead.

Hi Dan,

Thank you for pointing out the issue and for providing the fix.

You're absolutely correct that using an unsigned type for alarm_irq
prevents proper error handling when platform_get_irq() returns a
negative value. I will apply your patch and also review other return
value checks to ensure there are no similar issues elsewhere.

Thank you again for your detailed review and suggestions.

Best regards,
CL

You're welcome.  These are just Smatch warnings.  Nothing super
major.
