The i2c-i801 driver can work without interrupts, so there is no reason
to make a request_irq failure fatal. Instead we can simply fallback
to polling.

Shouldn't this message also be printed for !FEATURE_IRQ? I'd think it
should be moved to another place. We can also deduce from the dev_err
above that polling will be used, no?

Hi Wolfram,

Thanks for the quick review, very appreciated.

Good point, I'll rework that part of the code and resubmit.

Having to deduce things doesn't make my supporter's life easy. Given
the problems that have been reported by the i2c-i801 driver users
lately, I'd rather be verbose during initialization to make bug reports
easier to analyze.
