| |
This patch makes a band-aid fix the following build failure:
CC drivers/ata/pata_of_platform.o drivers/ata/pata_of_platform.c: In function 'pata_of_platform_probe': drivers/ata/pata_of_platform.c:55:13: error: 'NO_IRQ' undeclared (first use in this function) drivers/ata/pata_of_platform.c:55:13: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
The proper fix (stop OF code from returning NO_IRQ values) is pending.

Here is the story:
- NO_IRQ is evil[1], AFAIR the trend is to remove its usage completely; - Sane arches (x86) don't use it at all, or have it defined to 0 (PPC32/64). - On another arches it is either -1 or whatever random value; - The NO_IRQ disease spreads despite our willingness, even within the new OF code.
The new irq domain stuff (that is used on ARM) always returns 0 in 'no irq' case, so we may easily remove it.
So the proper fix would be two-fold: for OF and for that driver. But this is for 3.3 kernels. I'll send the two patches as follow-ups.
In the meantime, the band-aid (for 3.2) is down below.
