That won't happen until we're confident all callers expect NO_IRQ is
only 0 and don't treat negative as NO_IRQ. I expect that to be never,
but maybe of_irq_parse_and_map_pci calls can be audited more easily
than of_irq_parse_and_map. We ended up with of_irq_get() because we
need to return error codes.
