[PATCH] pata_of_platform: fix no irq handling

[Anton Vorontsov]

When no irq specified, pata_of_platform fills irq_res with -1,
which is wrong to do for two reasons:

1. By definition, 'no irq' should be IRQ 0, not some negative integer;
2. pata_platform checks for irq_res.start > 0, but since irq_res.start
   is unsigned type, the check will be true for `-1'.

Something like this patch should work. Thanks for noticing!
