It'd certainly be good to name anything that doesn't correspond to one of the existing semantics for the API (!) something different rather than adding yet another potentially overloaded meaning.

It seems we're (at least) three who agree about this. Here is a patch fixing the name.

And similar number of people are on the other side.

If someone already opposed to the renaming (and not only the name) I must have missed that.

So you think it's a good idea to keep the name platform_get_irq_optional() despite the "not found" value returned by it isn't usable as if it were a normal irq number?
