I did another patch for the mpc-i2c driver changing all of the
comparisons to NO_IRQ. My understanding of this is the ppc has NO_IRQ
set to -1, and powerpc has NO_IRQ = 0. So to make all of this work
right you have to use the NO_IRQ symbol and you can't check against 0
or -1 directly. I also believe work is underway to get all platforms
to NO_IRQ = 0 but I don't know if it is completed yet.
