[PATCH v3] cache: sifive_ccache: propagate IRQ count errors

From: Avi Weiss

Date: Sat Oct 17 2026 - 11:17:08 EST


platform_irq_count() returns -EPROBE_DEFER when the
interrupt provider is not ready, but
sifive_ccache_probe() only checks for a zero count.

-EPROBE_DEFER seems to be the only negative return
code possible here (currently).

A negative count skips the IRQ registration loop and
allows the probe to return success without requesting
a deferred retry.

Return negative IRQ counts so the driver is reprobed
when the interrupt provider becomes available.
