I oppose the name change. The unneeded churn right now since it won't fix
the issues with the underneath API (platform_get_irq() in this case) and
will require one more iteration over callers again.

The main issue that platform_get_irq*() returns magic error code while
treating 0 in a very special way (issuing WARN() and considering it as
a successful cookie) and this all is quite confusing.

If you are going to fix the underlying issue, welcome! Now I see only
the step to somewhere. I.o.w. this change _standalone_ makes no sense
to me.
