Is this a question to me or Sergey? I fully agree, when the 0 of platform_get_irq_optional is an apple and the NULL of gpio_get_optional is a banana, I doubt "All other *_optional() APIs seem to return 0 or NULL in case an optional resource is not available. Let's follow this good example, [...]". Best regards Uwe -- Pengutronix e.K. | Uwe Kleine-König | Industrial Linux Solutions | https://www.pengutronix.de/ |
