There is a bug in cpsw_probe() where we do:

	ndev->irq = platform_get_irq(pdev, 0);
	if (ndev->irq < 0) {

The problem is that "ndev->irq" is unsigned so the error handling
doesn't work.  I have changed it to a regular int.

ndev->irq is never used any where in the driver, I think its better to
remove this part of code from probe. If every one is ok, I can send a
patch to remove the code.

It seems like cpsw_ndo_poll_controller() uses it.

That can be changed to pass one of the interrupt numbers from priv as
the irq number is not used in interrupt service routine.

I don't know anything about this driver, so I'm fine with your idea.
