Per the x86-specific footnote to PCI spec r3.0, sec 6.2.4, the value 255 in
the Interrupt Line register means "unknown" or "no connection."
Previously, when we couldn't derive an IRQ from the _PRT, we fell back to
using the value from Interrupt Line as an IRQ. It's questionable whether
we should do that at all, but the spec clearly suggests we shouldn't do it
for the value 255 on x86.
Calling request_irq() with IRQ 255 may succeed, but the driver won't
receive any interrupts. Or, if IRQ 255 is shared with another device, it
may succeed, and the driver's ISR will be called at random times when the
*other* device interrupts. Or it may fail if another device is using IRQ
255 with incompatible flags. What we *want* is for request_irq() to fail
predictably so the driver can fall back to polling.
On x86, assume 255 in the Interrupt Line means the INTx line is not
connected. In that case, set dev->irq to IRQ_NOTCONNECTED so request_irq()
will fail gracefully with -ENOTCONN.
We found this problem on a system where Secure Boot firmware assigned
Interrupt Line 255 to an i801_smbus device and another device was already
using MSI-X IRQ 255. This was in v3.10, where i801_probe() fails if
request_irq() fails:
i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.3: enabling device (0140 -> 0143)
i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.3: can't derive routing for PCI INT C
i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.3: PCI INT C: no GSI
genirq: Flags mismatch irq 255. 00000080 (i801_smbus) vs. 00000000 (megasa)

After aeb8a3d16ae0 ("i2c: i801: Check if interrupts are disabled"),
i801_probe() will fall back to polling if request_irq() fails. But we
still need this patch because request_irq() may succeed or fail depending
on other devices in the system. If request_irq() fails, i801_smbus will
work by falling back to polling, but if it succeeds, i801_smbus won't work
because it expects interrupts that it may not receive.
