The function mv_platform_probe() neglects to check the results of the calls to platform_get_irq() and irq_of_parse_and_map() and blithely passes them to ata_host_activate() -- while the latter only checks for IRQ0 (treating it as a polling mode indicattion) and passes the negative values to devm_request_irq() causing it to fail as it takes unsigned values for the IRQ #... Add to mv_platform_probe() the proper IRQ checks to pass the positive IRQ #s to ata_host_activate(), propagate upstream the negative error codes, and override the IRQ0 with -EINVAL (as we don't want the polling mode).
