The current check of nvec < minvec for nvec returned from platform_irq_count() will not detect a negative error code in nvec.
This is because minvec is unsigned, and, as such, nvec is promoted to unsigned in that check, which will make it a huge number (if it contained -EPROBE_DEFER). In practice, an error should not occur in nvec for the only in-tree user, but add a check anyway.
