Hi Phuc,

You're right. I hadn't checked whether these helpers could return
IRQ 0.

I saw the existing irq >= 0 check in the request path and wanted
the release path to match it. I used -1 to distinguish "no IRQ
requested" from a possible IRQ 0, recording the IRQ only after
request_irq() succeeded.

Since both helpers reject IRQ 0, that extra handling is unnecessary.
Keeping pps_irq at its initial value of 0 and checking > 0 before
free_irq() is sufficient.

Wei, I plan to drop the -1 initialization, use > 0 for the release
check, and reset pps_irq to 0 after freeing it. Do you have any
concerns with that change?

Thanks for pointing this out.

Best regards,
Shengzhuo
