Checking for -1 (which means for definite, no irq at all, because it is totally unambiguous, as a -1 IRQ numbering is "impossible") is more correct. The problem is the check against an unsigned value for interrupts (is there any reason why you would need 4 billion interrupts possible instead of just 2 billion?) although I must say, the patch will work, and probably 99.9999999% of people will never see a problem with it :) -- Matt Sealey Genesi, Manager, Developer Relations Anton Vorontsov wrote: > When no irq specified the pata_of_platform fills the irq_res with -1, > which is wrong to do for two reasons: > > 1.
