If you bounce on nr_irqs in: drivers/dma/dw-edma/dw-edma-core.c and in drivers/dma/dw-edma/dw-edma-pcie.c you can see that this driver uses signed int for this everywhere. I didn't feel like refactoring a whole DMA driver. dw_pcie_edma_irq_verify() is supposed to verify that nr_irqs is either initialized to a valid value by a DWC PCIe glue driver, or that common code initializes it. If nr_irqs is initialized by a glue driver && "pci->edma.nr_irqs != ch_cnt", dw_pcie_edma_irq_verify() returns error and avoids calling dw_edma_probe(), thus it made sense for dw_pcie_edma_irq_verify() to also return error on negative nr_irqs.
