[PATCH v2] of/irq: Get rid of NO_IRQ usage

PPC32/64 defines NO_IRQ to zero, so no problems expected.
ARM defines NO_IRQ to -1, but OF code relies on IRQ domains support,
which returns correct ('0') value in 'no irq' case. So everything
should be fine.

Other arches might break if some of their OF drivers rely on NO_IRQ
being not 0. If so, the drivers must be fixed, finally.

Hehe, I never claimed that I tested the patch on any OF platform. :-D

But, the patch would work for ARM anyway. irq_create_of_mapping()
always return 0 in case of 'no irq'. So, in ARM case the problem was
in the hunk that you snipped:

         if (of_irq_map_one(dev, index, &oirq))
 -               return NO_IRQ;
 -

For the arches that don't use IRQ domains and have NO_IRQ != 0 (e.g.
microblaze), you spot the real trouble indeed. Thanks.

Here is the amended fix. I hope it works, and somebody could test it.

p.s.

Initially I proposed a very simple band-aid fix for 3.2, and wanted
the real fix postponed for 3.3 (since nowadays I don't have any OF
machines to test, but this will change soon).

I hope it's a good excuse. ;-)
