I get that and I'm fine with moving this out of this function. But
that's not what you are actually doing in this patch. You are moving
devm_request_irq out of this function, which isn't necessary, since the
request IRQ is not platform dependent. It's the retrieval of the IRQ
number to request (platform_get_irq/pdev->irq) which is platform
dependent.
