platform_get_irq() returns -ERRNO on error. In such case comparison to 0 would pass the check.platform_get_irq() is a bit of a mess. Historically we allowed defining interrupt resource with r->start == 0 and for such cases non-OF non-ACPI code will return 0 from platform_get_irq() to indicate that IRQ is not assigned. We either need to stop doing this in platform_get_irq(), or the conditions in this patch and followups should be "irq <= 0" and we need to make sure we do not accidentally return 0 from probe ...Hi, It's then contradictory to platform_get_irq documentation which explicitly says - zero will not be returned on error. This was also clarified in commit e330b9a6bb35 ("platform: don't return 0 from platform_get_irq[_byname]() on error").
It was for OF/ACPI, but not for resources described via DEFINE_RES_IRQ or other means. However I see we added a big fat WARN_ON() in case if we end up returning 0 still, so I will be applying your patches. Thanks. -- Dmitry
