Yes, that's what I meant.

For IRQ?! Maybe if I'll be drunk (quite unlikely).

I really don't like to check IRQ against 0. To me it should be
transparent to the caller. If IRQ == 0 in certain API or entirely in
Linux is considered NO_IRQ, then it should be either correctly handled
(means all following actions on it shouldn't fail, or it shouldn't be
returned in the first place).
