Yes, but we're talking about a print statement.

I don't like it. That's way too complex for just silencing an
erroneous error message.

Perhaps just move the error message into of_irq_parse_pci and then you
can control the print more easily. Or just change to dev_dbg would be
okay by me.

I was puzzled by why this is not standard error codes a while back. My
best guess is that that there is some legacy here. Changing error
values on widely used functions is impossible to audit. NO_IRQ being 0
or -1 is one such case.
