PATCH 1/1 rtc: ma35d1: fix unchecked IRQ error and IRQ-before-rtcdev ordering

platform_get_irq()'s return goes straight into rtc->irq_num and then devm_request_irq()'s unsigned int irq parameter with no check -- passing a negative error (like -EPROBE_DEFER) through that conversion turns it into a large positive number, so devm_request_irq() just fails with -EINVAL instead of deferring the probe.

Separately, the IRQ is requested before rtc->rtcdev is allocated and registered. Since devm teardown is LIFO, unbind or a later probe failure frees rtcdev before the IRQ, so an alarm firing in that window has ma35d1_rtc_interrupt() call rtc_update_irq() on freed memory.

Check irq_num for a negative return, and move the IRQ request to after the RTC device is fully registered.

Fixes dc0684adf3b6 ("rtc: Add driver for Nuvoton ma35d1 rtc controller")

rtc: ma35d1: fix unchecked IRQ error and IRQ-before-rtcdev ordering

This commit checks the return value of platform_get_irq() to prevent passing a negative error code to devm_request_irq(). It also moves the IRQ request to after the RTC device is registered, intending to fix the teardown order.

[Severity: Low]
Does this cause a redundant error message to be printed? platform_get_irq() already calls dev_err_probe() internally when it fails. Returning the error code directly without another dev_err_probe() might be preferred.

[Severity: High]
Does placing devm_request_irq() after devm_rtc_register_device() introduce a race condition?

Since devres teardown is last-in, first-out, during an unbind or a probe failure, the IRQ would be freed before the RTC device is unregistered. This leaves the device exposed to userspace without an active interrupt handler, potentially leading to missed alarms or unhandled interrupt storms.

Would it be better to place devm_request_irq() between devm_rtc_allocate_device() and devm_rtc_register_device() in ma35d1_rtc_probe()?
