Yes, well, the '0' vs. 'NO_IRQ' thing is still not fully sorted out AFAIK. But
you are possibly right here, as long as irq_of_parse_and_map does return
NO_IRQ, I should explicitly check for it, like this:

	if (uioinfo->irq == NO_IRQ)
		uioinfo->irq = UIO_IRQ_NONE;

Did that, it is a false positive. See here:
