Thanks, I see why is it preferred.

Code as of now will not prevent drivers from calling 
platform_get_resource(..IORESOURCE_IRQ).

Are we planning to enforce this in any way?

Only reason for this ask was to understand how platform_get_resource() 
will change moving forward, if this is something that you are planning 
to include in your fix patches.

I can go ahead and apply the patch, if that helps.
