I just returned from vacation and will have another one soon, I don't
think I will be doing much for the next couple of weeks.

See my other comments on the discussion.
The rough roadmap is:
1) check which drivers are still subjects of vIRQ0 which is retrieved
via IRQ resource
2) fix them accordingly (for example, by transforming to IRQ domains)
3) convert platform_get_irq() and Co (including optional variants) to
follow the pattern
a) non-optional APIs never return 0
b) optional APIs return negative error, or positive vIRQ or 0 when
IRQ not found

Alternatively you may put a big comment in the drivers first and use
platform_get_resource() for retrieving IRQ0 without WARN(). Then they
will be subject to fix later on.
