Thanks for your review.

I take that explanation as read because it was fundamental to the changes 
I made to pmac_zilog.c back in 2009 with commit ec9cbe09899e ("pmac-zilog: 
add platform driver").

IMO, being that it isn't news, it doesn't belong in the changelog. 
However, I agree that it needs to be documented. How about I add a comment 
to pmac_zilog.c?

I think your suggestion is shorter but not better. Commit a85a6c86c25b 
(which introduced the WARNING) suggests that testing for irq == 0 is 
undesirable. My patch resolves that.

As a bonus, by simply testing for the existence of both resources, I've 
addressed the mistake I made when I originally added the slick 
platform_get_irq() call instead of consistently using 
platform_get_resource().

platform_get_irq() hides a bunch of architecture-specific logic that is 
not appropriate here. The WARNING itself is a good example of that kind of 
logic.

Do you agree? If so, I will add this explanation to the commit log.
