This description is inaccurate and misleading (it looks like it was
cut'n'pasted from patch 1.)

platform_get_irq() has nothing to do with your change, as your change
is more about the irq_base value passed through platform data, and
not through IRQ resources.

This removes a NULL pointer check. Before this change, a NULL pdata
would be accepted and would lead to the interrupts not being setup.
After this change, it results in a NULL pointer deference.

Thankfully, both collie and poodle supply platform data, and are the
only providers of the locomo device.
