Indeed, the loop obtained all interrupts present, until no more are to found.
In the old logic, it would return a NULL resource for the first
non-existing one.
In the new logic, it would return -ENXIO.
Hence you need to check for -ENXIO in the loop, to distinguish "no more
interrupts" from actual errors.

I think that check should stay: there should be at least one interrupt.
