[ Upstream commit bab537805a10bdbf55b31324ba4a9599e0651e5e ]

NO_IRQ is a relic from the old days. It is not used anymore in core
functions. By the way, function irq_of_parse_and_map() returns value 0
on error.

In some drivers, NO_IRQ is erroneously used to check the return of
irq_of_parse_and_map().

It is not a real bug today because the only architectures using the
drivers being fixed by this patch define NO_IRQ as 0, but there are
architectures which define NO_IRQ as -1. If one day those
architectures start using the non fixed drivers, there will be a
problem.

Long time ago Linus advocated for not using NO_IRQ, see
https://lore.kernel.org/all/Pine.LNX.4.64.0511211150040.13959@g5.osdl.org

He re-iterated the same view recently in
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wg2Pkb9kbfbstbB91AJA2SF6cySbsgHG-iQMq56j3VTcA@mail.gmail.com

So test !irq instead of tesing irq == NO_IRQ.

All other usage of NO_IRQ for powerpc were removed in previous cycles so
the time has come to remove NO_IRQ completely for powerpc.
