[PATCH v3] serial: hvc: use modern IRQ acquisition API

From: Rosen Penev

Date: Sat Oct 03 2026 - 17:31:58 EST


Use platform_get_irq_optional() to be able to handle potential
-EPROBE_DEFER and other errors. Move it earlier to avoid having to call
kfree() on the global array.

v3: resend.
v2: move call earlier to avoid failure to reprobe.
