>From looking at how this driver has been handled elsewhere, the plan
seems to be to do it one architecture at a time, and almost
all have killed off NO_IRQ at this point, making it impossible
to use IRQ 0 on an NCR5380 derivative.

The driver has had this snippet since 2014 with commit 22f5f10d2dad
("ncr5380: Fix SCSI_IRQ_NONE bugs"):

#ifndef NO_IRQ
#define NO_IRQ          0
#endif

and this is used on almost all architectures now, including the
two other ones that have architecture specific drivers (powerpc
and m68k).

The architectures that still provide NO_IRQ are:

c6x, openrisc: these have no ISA, PCI or any platform
	specific	NCR5380 variant, so they are irrelevant here.
powerpc: defines NO_IRQ as 0, and is in the process of removing
	that.
sparc, parisc, mn10300: these have PCI slots but no ISA slots, and
	could have DMX3191D in theory, but none of the other front-ends.
	The dmx3191d driver doesn't use interrupts, so that's fine too.
arm: I've submitted patches for all other uses of the NO_IRQ macro
	that are possible on ARM, so this driver remains.

If we can show that no ARM machine uses NCR5380 with a valid IRQ 0,
thenthe definition can be removed from arch/arm/include/asm/irq.h
as soon as my last patch is merged.

We can also trivially remove the defintitions of NO_IRQ from c6x,
mn10300, openrisc, parisc and sparc, as nothing relies on them,
and Michael Ellerman has a series for all the powerpc drivers.
	
FWIW, there are a couple of other drivers that use the same
#ifdef trick as NCR5380:

drivers/ata/sata_dwc_460ex.c:#ifndef NO_IRQ
drivers/ata/sata_dwc_460ex.c:#define NO_IRQ		0
drivers/ata/sata_dwc_460ex.c-#endif
-> wrong, must use hardcoded '0'

drivers/input/touchscreen/ucb1400_ts.c:#ifndef NO_IRQ
drivers/input/touchscreen/ucb1400_ts.c:#define NO_IRQ	0
drivers/input/touchscreen/ucb1400_ts.c-#endif
-> wrong, must use hardcoded '0'

drivers/mmc/host/of_mmc_spi.c:#ifndef NO_IRQ
drivers/mmc/host/of_mmc_spi.c:#define NO_IRQ 0
drivers/mmc/host/of_mmc_spi.c-#endif
-> unused since the only user was found broken and fixed

drivers/pcmcia/pd6729.c:#ifndef NO_IRQ
drivers/pcmcia/pd6729.c:#define NO_IRQ	((unsigned int)(0))
drivers/pcmcia/pd6729.c-#endif
-> wrong, must use hardcoded '0'

drivers/rtc/rtc-m48t59.c:#ifndef NO_IRQ
drivers/rtc/rtc-m48t59.c:#define NO_IRQ	(-1)
drivers/rtc/rtc-m48t59.c-#endif
-> correct, but the only platform using it doesn't provide
   an interrupt

I guess I'll send patches for these five drivers too.
