Think what if you're passed with irq_setup(NULL, 0, 0).
That's why I suggested to place this check at the beginning.

irq_setup() is a helper function for mana_gd_setup_irqs(), which already takes
care of no NULL pointer for irqs, and 0 number of interrupts can not be passed.

nvec = pci_alloc_irq_vectors(pdev, 2, max_irqs, PCI_IRQ_MSIX);
if (nvec < 0)
	return nvec;

I know that. But still it's a bug. The common convention is that if a
0-length array is passed to a function, it should not dereference the
pointer.

I will add one if check in the begining of irq_setup() to verify the pointer
and the nvec number.

Yes you can, but what for? This is an error anyways, and you don't
care about early return. So instead of adding and bearing extra logic,
I'd just swap 2 lines of existing code.
