In fact the whole hack in drivers/of/irq.c was to accomodate ARM which still uses -1, powerpc changed to 0 a long time ago. Now that we have a generic remapper between HW and "linux" IRQ numbers, there is no reason to stick to -1 even on ARM. > Don't *change* NO_IRQ to zero (that whole #define is broken - leave it > around as a marker of brokenness), just start removing it from all the > ARM drivers that use the OF infrastructure.
