I wouldn't know that much. I'm just pointing out that '0' doesn't seem
to be a valid IRQ number in this context (i.e. virq space).

Yes, AFAICS platform_get_irq() returns a negative error or a positive
irq number. I fail to see how it's able return '0' (of course, I can be
wrong).

Quite frankly not sure how to handle this best. A quick grep through the
code doesn't help either: lots of drivers treat 0 as a valid interrupt
and lots treat it as invalid. So I guess it doesn't really matter...

Can someone shed a light on this?
